When displaying a .htm file In Windows XP using Internet Explorer, I can do FILE / EDIT WITH NOTEPAD, to edit the page. How can I do this in Firefox ?

Firefox generally has a read-only relationship with HTML files you view in the browser. You can change from the built-in source viewer to an external editor, but you won't be able to save back to the live location, just to a local copy.

To make live changes, you would have to use the developer tools.
