How do I create my page HTML in Firefox or Internet explorer?

You can't directly create a page within the browser itself, browsers are there for rendering the HTML/CSS/JavaScript to the screen.

To create HTML files, you can actually just use any kind of plaintext editor like Notepad or TextEdit, though I would suggest using something like Sublime Text or Atom to write anything with any kind of complexity.

When you write your file, just be sure to save it as HTML (your text editor should give you an option to save it in this format, otherwise you can just change the file's extension to .html after you've saved the .txt file), and then you just need to open your newly created HTML file and it should automatically open in your default browser.

What do you mean by create?

I mean like a page or where I can do my practice to HTML

It's still a little unclear what you're looking for, but if you want to be able to write and view HTML in the browser, there's Workspaces on Treehouse, where you can write/view HTML/CSS/JavaScript, or if you want to do it somewhere else, there's CodePen, but both of these are more useful for small-scale pages or experiments. If you're wanting to write out whole sites, you'll want to use a text editor.

Thank you so much guys
