I am customizing a web page, for the first time, for personal use of The Weather Channel and I've been told to cop/paste the code, got to HTML editor, select plain text to complete this and I've not the slightest clue about how. Yes, I can copy/paste but I can't find the HTML editor. Might someone please be kind enough to instruct this doofus on how I go about this? Thank you, Leeflea

Firefox doesn't have an HTML editor built into it, but you can get the plain text view of a web pages source code by right-clicking the page and selecting View Page Source.

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I've printed off your instructions and will give it a try. I'm a registered nurse and know how to take care of a medical problem with my patients but with computers, I'm practically useless and I depend on people such as yourself who is wise to help me. Again, thank you for taking the time to get back with me. L.
