I am trying to compose an email from the email address on my web page. The email editor program (or Mozilla) doesn't allow me to do that. The instructions that Mozilla provided said to find the user.js file in Firefox's profile directory. I can't find such a file. I don't know where or how to create this file or how to write into it the lines that the instructions provided. I also don't know what url I am supposed to substitute for mozila.org that is in the lines of script.

This was helpful. Now, to to do what I need to do I have to add something to the user.js file as per directions regarding setting prefs for Mozilla Rich Text Editing Demo to allow a copy and paste. It instructs me to change the URL from mozila.org to where I want to enable the function. I am not sure what that means. I am trying to to do something in the "back office" of my web site. I want to send an email from the web site's email. I am trying to copy and paste a pdf file into the body of the email but was not able to do it. I was directed to the setting prefs page. Do I change the location to the URL of my web site or the web site of the web host?
