Don't have that entry on my version of Firefox (Windows, v. 1.5.0.10)
Maybe some other upstart plugin editor clobbered it?
Thanks,

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. IIRC, the following link may
help: nntp://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.support.firefox
Best regards,
