No need to apologize; without them, we might not have figured out that at least some of the images you were working with were local files, not online.

Part of that sounds like a difference in features between IE and Firefox. I won't bother trying it with the ancient Internet Explorer I have but from your description, IE may actually be handling images and image links differently from Firefox.
If instead of the above you do (in Firefox)...
1. Right click on image
2. In the resulting menu, left-click on
copy image location
3. CTRL-V in message reply box
... do you end up with a text string (either
http://... or
file:///...) in the message reply box? It sounds like you do:

If I copy image location - that pastes too - but it isn't the image, so what's the use.

Plenty of use! If you have that much, it's a link to the image and the next step is to take it the rest of the way to turn it into an actual image.
You're composing your reply in "Go Advanced" mode, I hope, so that you have access to a bunch of controls above the box. With the "image location" copied as above, put the cursor in the message reply box where you want your image. Click on the
(Insert Image) control above the box. By the way, are you in Text or WYSIWYG mode? You can toggle between them with the
(Switch Editor Mode) control at the upper right above the smilies. In text mode you should see a string like
[IMG]location of your image[/IMG]
or in WYSIWYG mode, an image. Try that, and report back.
