Chosen solution

You need to be working in HTML. You can set HTML composition as the default in the account's settings, or hold down shift whilst clicking write/reply/forward to toggle from plain text to HTML.

You can always just hand type the link, using Insert|HTML and enter something like:

<a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1037645?fpa=1"<Click here</a>

Or you can use Insert|Link which will offer you text boxes for the link address and the display text, along with other parameters.
