Editing Haskell wiki pages

How am I supposed to edit a page on the Haskell wiki? If I click on an "Edit this page" link, then Firefox prompts me to choose a tool to open an application/x-external-editor. When i just choose the default (emacs) I get the following opened in emacs: [Process] Type=Edit text Engine=MediaWiki Script=http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/ Server=http://www.haskell.org Path=/haskellwiki Special namespace=Special [File] Extension=wiki URL=http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/?title=Applications_and_libraries/Games&action=edit&internaledit=true which isn't much use (and further, it's write-protected!). -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire

it should be a problem with your config, i just tried with ff 3.0.7/win32 - it edits fine. nothing was specially configured for this behaviour -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com

I haven't configured anything special either. ff 3.0.7/Linux x64
Go to your preferences page. Under the "Editing" tab, the field "Use external editor by default" is probably checked. Uncheck it, and you will be able to edit the pages directly in Firefox. Alex

What Editing tab? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
It's on the left-hand side of the page, at least on my screen. I guess it doesn't really look like a tab, but there's a link that says "Editing" on the Preferences page. Alex
