Hi Harish,
I am sorry I was not aware of I had another version of code doing copy/paste
for FF. FF is complicate to support copy/paste due to user privilage
protection. In addition to your code below, you still need to follow FF's
requirement to open privilage of copy/paste:
http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html

If you only want to make your copy/paste working on TextBox, there is an
easier way. You can use below method to get any user selection:
    public static native String copyFrom() /*-{
    var sel = $wnd.window.getSelection();
    return sel.toString();
    }-*/;

And then insert the text string you got into your TextBox.
