Unable to click link in python selenium

So for a few days i've been trying to make selenium to click Link1 but without success, i tried many different ways to do it but all of them failed

Here is a list of things i tried and what errors i got.

Unable to locate element: Link1: find_element_by_link_text('Link1').click()

Unable to locate element: //a[contains(@href,'#') and contains(.,'Link1')]: find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href,'#') and contains(.,'Link1')]").click()

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click': find_elements_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Link1')]").click()

HTML CODE:

<frameset rows="*,1" frameborder="no" framespacing="0" border="0" >
<frame src="/something" name="center" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" noresize="">
<iframe id="something"></iframe>

<div id="content-area">
<div id="something">
<div class="Content">
<div class="pageNavigation" id="pageNavigation">

    <ul>
        <li>                                    
            <a href="#" onclick="javascriptcode1">Link1</a>
        </li>
        <li class="last">                                   
            <a href="#" onclick="javascriptcode2">Link2</a>                                 
        </li>
    </ul>

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

My Code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

def selenium():
    driver = webdriver.Firefox()
    driver.get("https://something.com")
    time.sleep(3.5)
    #driver.find_element_by_link_text('Link1').click()
    #driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Link1')]").click()
    #driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Link1')]").click()


selenium()

Edit: I just noticed that the link is inside an <frameset> and another <frame>, and after that another <iframe> which closes immediately s Also :

<frameset> -> <frame> -> <iframe></iframe> -> Link1

driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_name(name)) # use any applicable method
driver.find_element_by_link_text('Link1').click()
driver.switch_to.default_content()

driver.switch_to.frame
