When I am in Internet Explorer and I want to send my addressee a website address in my e-mail, I can right-click on the address bar, click "copy", then paste the address into the e-mail. It will then come up looking like a link (it is underlined), and my addressee can just click on it to get to the address.

In Firefox, when I do the same thing, the address in the e-mail simply looks like text. My addressee cannot just click on it, but must copy and paste to get to the address.

Is there something I am missing? Thank you.

Some sites convert URLs automatically, but many do not. Usually if they do not, there will be a link icon above the compose area. If you click the icon and paste the URL, then it is inserted as a live link. (In past testing, I found one site would convert the URLs when you used the Save Draft button, but I haven't retested recently.)
