Firefox: Edit Forms On Websites In External Editors

t’s All Text is an interesting add-on for the firefox web browser that allows Firefox users to fill out web forms in an external text editor. External text editors have many advantages over the build in way of adding text to web forms in Internet browsers. They usually provide a deeper functionality that includes macros, additional text manipulation options and a customizable interface. The Firefox add-on has been primarily been designed to have a text backup if the sending of the text on the website fails. This core functionality has changed since Firefox began to save browser sessions every ten seconds. It’s All Text is now a way of editing text in web forms more comfortably in a known environment.

The Firefox extension will automatically display an Edit button in the lower right corner of every text form on websites. A click on the Edit button will launch the external text editor which can then be used to write the text. Saving the text in the text editor will send it over to the web form in the web browser. It is then possible to continue editing the text in the text editor or to send the web form in Firefox. A backup copy is always at hand as long as the text editor window remains open.

The default text editor will have to be selected at first use. A few other options are available in the add-on’s settings including moving the Edit button to a different location, the character set or defining a hotkey for the process.

It’s all text is available for Firefox 3.x at the Mozilla Firefox website.
