I like to edit my web pages easily, 

     - click to see html, edit it, (file name already there), save it
     - hit restore on browser - see what I did -

Just changed from IE 

    which gave me NotePad, which is just fine for me

Just changed to FireFox 

    and it displays text in a non-editor,
         can't edit and save easily

What to do??

Even worst - after installing FireFox 

  IE no longer clicks to NotePad
     but that fancy non-editor   :-(((
