I sell items on ebay. When I copy and paste a web address it does not become an underlined CLICK ABLE LINK. It does in automatically in Internet Explorer. I prefer using Firefox.

How can I fix this ???

Ron PS The same thing happens if I try to email a link to someone.

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).
