Sometimes I use Firefox as my browser to access my Yahoo email. If I put a link in my emails, no one can open the link because the link appears as part of the text. They have to copy and paste the link.

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" 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 (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

There is usually a toolbar button called Insert Hyperlink or Create HyperLink in the editor to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button -> see attached Screenshot).

You can select the text and click the Insert Hyperlink or Create HyperLink 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.

You can also use this extension to create Hyperlinks - Make Link

Check and tell if its working.
