How do I copy a link from my email into a new browser?

I was able to automatically add browser re the automatically add button, so that is great. Please don't laugh(oh, go ahead) but I am new to this "stuff" and I don't know exactly where the browser is. Is it the address bar ? The link I am trying to get to is a whole lot of numbers/words, plus is two lines long. Do I type all of it?

Sometimes, a link is coded. Starting with the http or www mark to the end, however long it is. Don't include anything not part of the link. Once you have marked it, right click and Copy. Then Paste it in the address bar.

Some follow-up thoughts:

If you want to replace the page in the current tab, paste in the address bar right there and press Enter. If you hold down the Alt key when pressing Enter, Firefox will open the new URL in a different tab. If you prefer to work with a separate window, you can press Ctrl+n and then paste into the address bar there.
