I'm using MAMP on a Mac, not XAMPP on Windows. Also I only know a little PHP; I can't follow the opening "Line Commands/Executable/Arguments" part of your code. (Is that even code, or just a comment of some kind?) Perhaps a bigger difference is that I'm not using "http://localhost";... As I said, I've configured Apache + my hosts file so that, if my live page is http://mydomain.com/... then the local equivalent is http://mydomain.dev/... That's the one I'm trying to get Firebug to open.
I'm surprised I haven't been able to find any clear documentation for how to set up the arguments; what I have seen implies that the argument format would be different for different platforms and editors, and there are a lot of possible combinations. In that other thread you said "I configured a proxy script that translates the URL into the filesystem path and then the script opens the editor. In this way I can easily edit long .css or .js files." By proxy script did you mean the PHP code you showed above? Did that mean you DID find a way to have Firebug open your local/dev files with the Open With Editor command? Or are you still limited to having Firebug only open files over the Internet? As far as I know, there is no real difference between "http://foo.dev"; (local Apache) and "http://foo.com"; (online Apache). I suspect my problem is just that I can't find any documentation for what the argument should look like. Why would they put a feature into Firebug and then fail to explain it anywhere?
