I’ve been using Firefox since about 2003 or so, but I’m terrible about checking out cool add-ons. I didn’t even know there was an HTML add-on for FF.
Try these:

• BBCodeXtra
• BBCode

or search for others:
Search Results for "bbcode"

I’ve wanted to see a rich text editor on FR for years, but I’m just one lone voice crying out in the wilderness, it seems .. LOL
Search Results for text editors (wysiwyg)

I’m using the latest version of FF, so I don’t know if that widget works with it. I might go see.
Some of the above may or may not work with the most recent versions of Firefox. To check you need these:

• Is It Compatible?
• Add-on Compatibility Reporter

Good luck!

Thanks for the Mozilla links to editor add-ons. I just downloaded the BBCodeXtra. We’ll see how it works (if I can find it now).

Great post formatting, by the way.

I’m a little confused by the BBCodeXtra add-on. I’ve apparently installed it on my FF program, but can’t find a button or controls for it anywhere.

I think my version of FF is 8.0 (came out in June 2011). I’m also using Windows 7.

Any clue as to what might be wrong?
