It works for any Firefox from 1.0 to 2.0.0.*. It includes a setting that makes the selected editor the default for the View Page Source menu item, so you don't need to mess with about:config. It's not just for viewing source, either; it also allows you to use your favorite editor to edit text areas. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/394/ I use the same plugin on both my Linux and Windows installations of Firefox.

Thanks, Jack According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.external http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.path these prefs work in Firefox 2 but not in Firefox 1.5. You can either upgrade to Fx2 or go hunting on one or more of the following sites for an extension that will allow you to use an external editor on the view-source page: http://addons.mozilla.org/ http://www.extensionsmirror.de/ http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/ For more questions about Firefox, set up a newsgroup account for news.mozilla.org and subscribe to the mozilla.support.firefox newsgroup. That newsgroup is not mirrored on "Usenet" servers.
