| I'm using Greasemonkey 0.7.20080121.0 on Firefox 2.0.0.14 and 3.0b5. Running an external editor works with Firefox 2, but not with 3b4 or 3b5.

| So I'm seeing the [[FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_the_Edit_button_open_anything.3F|edit button]] and [[FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_the_New_Userscript_command_open_anything.3F|new user script]] problem, specifically with beta versions of Firefox 3. Greasemonkey lets me choose gedit, giving
| |
|
| |
| greasemonkey.editor;/usr/bin/gedit
| |
|
| |
| but then does nothing.
| |
|
| |
| If I install Greasemonkey with apt on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, I get version 0.8.20080119.0-0ubuntu1, an old version of Greasemonkey from hardy/universe, and it gives this error report:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| Could not launch editor.<br />
| |
| [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsIMIMEInfo.preferredApplicationHandler]" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://greasemonkey/content/utils.js :: launchApplicationWithDoc :: line 189" data: no]
| |
| </blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| '''summary''' · I understand how to set greasemonkey.editor, and it's working for me, but not with Firefox 3 beta. It looks like Greasemonkey is incompatible with Firefox 3. Is anyone else seeing this problem on other platforms?
