# Edit/Insert Link Function

 * I have a strange problem when I go to underline text to make a hyper-link. The
   window pops up, but nothing appears. I can close the window from the upper right-
   hand side as though there was some text there, but the header and body of the
   window are blank.
 * This works this way from my laptop running Firefox 3.5 but not from my desktop,
   also running Firefox 3.5 I have tried clearing the cache, disabling add-ons and
   extensions, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
 * I am running version 2.9

 * It could be an issue with Java versions. Go here:

 * Well, I see that Version 3.5.6 of Firefox is out now. Instead of upgrading, I
   would suggest a complete uninstall of Firefox, which hopefully will clean up 
   fully. And then reinstall using Version 3.5.6.

 * Note – I just tried to download Firefox 3.5.6, and my anti-virus (VIPRE) flagged
   it as containing a trojan based on its past experience, not by actually looking
   at it.
 * So, I’m not sure if this is a False Positive by VIPRE. A past problem that has
   been fixed. Or a real problem.
 * At a minimum, therefore, I would recommend downloading Firefox 3.5.6 FIRST, and
   running an anti-malware scan on it, before uninstalling your old version of Firefox.
   A good idea anyway, since, with no browser, you can’t download!

 * I fixed the problem from an old thread I found here. It suggested installing 
   an advanced timyMCE-advanced from here: [http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/tinymce-advanced/](http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/tinymce-advanced/)
 * This seemed to have fixed it. Why it works since I changed nothing on my browser?
   I don’t know. Oh, I already had the latest version of Firefox installed.
