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.

It is not that useful for me but if you do have to fill out lots of web forms you might find this extension handy. What it does is that it adds an edit button in the lower right corner of every textarea web form. If you click that edit button you are taken directly to your default text editor and use it to write the text that should be send in that web form.

The major advantage is that you can use your editor to do the formatting of the text and see exactly how it looks like without having to use bbcode or html code to format the text in the textbox itself. Very useful in situations that require a good professional layout.
