I have just installed FF on my laptop, finding it much faster than IE.However, I have a problem: when I copy and paste an url into an email (hotmail) it appears, and is received, as plain text, which must be pasted into the address bar.In IE a coloured, highlighted link is created automatically,very useful and professional looking.I can't believe this is not possible with FF, and as I am new to computing I am assuming I am missing something obvious.
Any answers?
Thanks,
Gads

Probably MS coded hotmail to do that on purpose since link generation usually happens automatically.

An url is an url, doesn't matter whether you cut and paste it from FF, IE, Safari, whatever
So it is a feature of your email that is stopping it working. So it might be as suggested above.

Why would MS code hotmail to stop link generation via FF - because they want you to use IE? Not very helpful, spiteful in fact.
Thanks for replies, seems like I won't beat it.
