Everything was working fine until the update yesterday.

Now I cannot slide a link into the body of my Hotmail emails.

The long URL appears in black ink when what was always the blue renamed link that I use.

Also, the Properties do not come up any longer when right clicked on. The entire bookmark drop down disappears.

In the Hotmail editor there is a button to create a hyperlink on the button toolbar, just above the text area where you compose a new message.

That button has a tooltip Insert Hyperlink (looks like a sphere with a chain below it).

Thank you for replying.

Did that, I never had to use it before.

After doing that the entire long URL goes blue and enters the body but not the shortened "renamed" one.

Up until yesterday I just slid the link into the email body very easily like I always did.

I just reinstalled Firefox 13.0.1 with no improvement. The properties dialog box did come back up.

Something changed somewhere.
