I have recently downloaded Firefox but I am used to using IE. When I type an email using my Yahoo account, if I type a URL the link changes so that it can be clicked on to go to the website. When I type a URL whilst using Firefox it doesn't change to a link. Is there a setting I can alter so it will do this?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

You can check the toolbar above the text area where you type the text to see if there is a button to create clickable hyper links. You can usually select the link with the mouse and click that button to change it in a hyper link.

Thank you - I hadn't noticed there was a button about links in my Yahoo Email. In Internet Explorer it automatically changes the link when I have typed it. It means in Firefox I will just have to click on the button and type the URL in the box and then it will make it a link.
