    As answered in my comment on selenium scripts

    It may be because of a subtlety in XPath where //a[1] will select all descendant a elements that are the first para children of their parents, and not the first a element in the entire document. It might work better for you to use something like //body/descendant::a[1] or anchor it to an element with an id like id('myLinks')/descendant::a[1]. Note that for the last example you would need to proceed the locator with xpath=.
