If I drag and drop or copy and paste a URL into a new yahoo email, it is not active it does not hyperlink. Does this in Firefox 15.0.1. If I use Internet Explorer the dragging and dropping or copy and paste it works fine. I have made some alterations to about:config and these have not worked either. So before I do anymore guessing, I thought it best I ask.

Each webmail program is free to interpret dropped or pasted text the way it likes, and this can differ by browser.

To make a URL into a link in Yahoo mail, you can use the insert link button. See the attached image for an illustration.
