How do I get a URL link I copy and paste in Yahoo email to work like it does in IE so people can click on it to go to the website?

I have have just started using Firefox previously having used IE. When I type an email using my Yahoo account in IE, if I copy and paste a URL the link changes so that it can be clicked on to go to the website. When I copy and paste a URL whilst using Firefox it doesn't change to a link. Is there a setting I can alter so it will do this?

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.
