Well I hate to tell you this, but changing to Firefox 3.6.x will not

As for the OOo copy & paste html issue; that's a well known bug that is
not present in the standard OOo:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/116750
[[ooo-build] word processor exits without error after paste of html text]
and was fixed some time ago.
