Description

If I open demo in Firefox 28 and, select whole Hello World text and click on "link", text selection disappears and so also the link is not created when I type into the dialog box.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Firefox's selection behavior when clicking 'Link' button. Check if the selection is cleared by the button's click event and trace the execCommand('createLink') path.
