Re: OSX Mountain Lion + Firebug 1.10.4 + Firefox 17 external editor = no go?

[Jan Honza Odvarko]

I have tested this with Firefox 16 and 19 + Firebug 1.11a5 and Firebug
1.10.4
(Mac OS X Server 10.6.2, VMWare, virtual box)
And it seems to be working for me.

My STR:

1) Open Firebug,
2) Pick Open With Editor -> Configure Editors...
3) Click the 'Add' button
4) Provide a name and click 'Browse' button
5) Pick "Text Edit"
6) Click 'OK' and 'Close' buttons to finish
7) Switch to the Scrip panel, enable reload if necessary
8) Right click on the Script panel pick the editor
9) Text edit is opened for me (displaying a script)

Please check Firefox Error Console. Do you see any errors?
Can you try to create a new Firefox profile with only Firebug
extension installed?
Does it help?
