Thought this Firefox plugin might be helpful to those in the meetup group who do a lot of CMS work.

I've often been frustrated having to deal with coding in inline textareas. This handy plugin adds a new "edit" button at the bottom right corner of text areas, which then launches a text editor app of your choice (you tell it the path). Once you're done editing, save the file and the plugin magically updates your textarea with the new text!

Sooo helpful. I just started using it with Drupal (works great when doing html for blocks and needing to do a find and replace or something like that). I'm sure this would be handy for Wordpress, too.

For linux heads: I'm having my textareas open in gedit using this path in the plugin preferences

/usr/bin/gedit
