How to use Vim with Firefox

If you’re a Vim user like me, you would’ve wished many a time that you could use Vim to edit text in Firefox. Too bad, the Mozex extension doesn’t work anymore.

Thanks to Samuel Wright, I have now discovered another way to achieve the same - using the ViewSourceWith extension.

I have put up the set of steps on my wiki on how to use Vim to edit text in Firefox.

Note : This works only for plain text entries. It will not work for rich text formatting options such as GMail or Yahoo! Mail compose page.
