I use firefox-3.5.1 and I also thought should > activate a hperlink. I don't know what your problem might be then. If you select a link with tab, just pressing enter should be enough to open it. An alternate method is to directly type part of the link, firefox will select matches (you don't have to press any key combo to open the search box or anything, it's automatic as you start typing). Once you have typed enough characters and the selection is -hopefully- over the link, just press enter. This method can be a bit tricky sometimes. You might need to click the background on the area containing the links or tab somewhere near the link to be able to use it. Yet a third method would be to use the search feature. Control+f, then type part of the name, once the link is -partly- selected, press ESC (important, to close the search bar) then enter to activate the selected link. > If your enter key activates hyperlinks, please try some of the links > here: > http://www.lynda.com/home/ViewCourses.aspx?lpk0=3D391 As far as I can tell, they work fine in both firefox and seamonkey. --=20 Jes=FAs Guerrero
