Firefox w/Win 7 and Windows Live Mail does not auto-hyperlink from Send Link. I know cut-and-paste. Is there fix?

On other computer, w/Vista, Windows Mail, clicking Send Link works perfectly, providing one click hyperlink. Running latest Firefox on both computers. Made Windows Live Mail default email. No help. Uninstalled Windows Live Mail and switched to thunderbird, made default. Didn't work.

Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?

Installed Firefox 9. Did not fix problem. Still have to cut and paste to hyperlink from send link, but thanks...have to see if 9 improves general operating.

I'm searching for a solution as well.

For now, when the compose message windows opens with the plain text link, I just click anywhere in the body of the message below the text. This will place the cursor at the end of the link. I then hit Enter, and the hyperlink becomes active.

That is an elegant workaround, B-Con, and I thank you. I'm just still puzzled because on my other computer, running Firefox/Vista/Windows Mail, the link is automatically hyperlinked when the compose window opens from Send Link.
