Add And Use Multiple Source Code Editors In Firefox
The Firefox web browser will display the source code of any website by default in its own interface. There are two configuration parameters that can be set so that another external source code viewer is used for viewing source codes (setting view_source.editor.external to true and view_source.editor.path to the path of the external editor on the local hard drive in about:config)
But what if a user wants to use different source code viewers and editors depending on the object to be analysed? Some web designers might want to view HTML code in a program like Notepad++ but XML or CSS in a different program that is better suited for that code.
