Excuse me,I am, what I believe you call a 'newbie'.I have installed firefox on my (vista premium) laptop as it seems faster than IE.My problem is that when I try and create a link to a web page the site address I copy and paste into an email just remains as normal text, not highlighted and underlined.I am doing exactly the same as I would in IE so I am rather frustrated.Please feel free to move this to the 'idiot' file mr administrator.

Not knowing how to do this does NOT make you an idoit. Try using shift?

No joy, unfortunately.I can't believe that firefox can't do clickable links, they seem to have add-ons for all sorts of (useless?) stuff.Someone must know here!
thanks for your suggestion,

Ok, you are trying to e-mail a link to a page. When you copy and paste the link and send the e-mail the person that receives it only has a text link rather than a clickable one? Is that what you are trying to do? If so, then it is possible that the person receiving the e-mail has HTML blocked and only receives e-mail as plain text.
 
Yes,I am trying to create a 'live' (clickable) link.I am using Hotmail.When I copy and paste an url into a message it remains as text, and the recipient (I have tried it on various friends) must paste it into their address bar.In IE a coloured,underlined link is automatically created.
I have just thought to look on Mozila support pages, and the question has been posed several times, though no easy answer given.Shame, firefox is much faster than IE, and it is a handy feature.
