Certain web forms have formatting options like those found in Microsoft Word. They don't appear when I use Firefox, but do with IE of course. Is there a way to get it to display?

That formatting feature for text areas is known as Rich Text editing. Easy to enable on the web page with one line of code to tap into the Midas package that Mozilla uses, but the users can't enable it themselves from within Firefox.
