There are some bloggers out there who are just downright saviours. Whenever I have a big computer irritant, I can normally go online and find a blogger who knows the answer to my problem. Therein lies the beauty of bloggers or blogging. If you don’t know something, you can quickly find someone who does.

The How-To Geek is my latest hero.

I am a big fan of the Firefox extension, Greasemonkey, but I was getting extremely hacked off with the fact that if I wanted to edit a Greasemonkey script, it automatically opened in Microsoft Word. I am slowly going off MS Word as my preferred word processing app as it is slow, clunky and unwieldy. In fact I am seriously considering installing Open Office which gives you a good indicator of MS Word’s high positioning on my shit-list.

Anyway, I wanted to find a way to change Firefox’s default editing program for Greasemonkey scripts. I much prefer lighter faster programs such as MS Notepad but I had no idea until now that the solution lay in Firefox’s “about : config” options page. Thanks to the How-To Geek, I have now changed the default editing program and I am one happy chappie.

I strongly recommend you subscribe to the How-To Geek. I only wish we could get him to write for Make Use Of.
