Description

I know there are four closed issues about this already, but with Firefox support and all external editor plugins I could find being legacy ones, I thought it might be worth opening another one.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the four previously closed issues about external editor support and the Firefox and legacy-plugin context mentioned here. The issue does not identify files, entry points, supported editors, or completion criteria, so those requirements would need to be established before implementation can begin.
