ABE Editor Option - does not honor selection on OSX

When I first brought up the ABE options menu I was given the option to select an editor when I selected the edit option to change the rules. I selected the "TextWrangler" app and things worked. Now, when I go back to retry the edits it brings up the text file in the OSX Script Editor, which is not a very good choice for editing text files. Deleting the following line from my prefs.js and restarting Firefox gave me the selection option back, but again, it only ran the correct editor the first time.

Code: Select all

user_pref("noscript.abe.editor", "AAAAAAFYAAIAAQhLZWxla29uYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDYX/VSCsAAAAAAH8QVGV4dFdyYW5nbGVyLmFwcAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACBmwMOudr8AAAAAAAAAAP////8AAAkgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADEFwcGxpY2F0aW9ucwAQAAgAAMNiDHUAAAARAAgAAMOvA18AAAABAAQAAAB/AAIAJktlbGVrb25hOkFwcGxpY2F0aW9uczpUZXh0V3JhbmdsZXIuYXBwAA4AIgAQAFQAZQB4AHQAVwByAGEAbgBnAGwAZQByAC4AYQBwAHAADwASAAgASwBlAGwAZQBrAG8AbgBhABIAHUFwcGxpY2F0aW9ucy9UZXh0V3JhbmdsZXIuYXBwAAATAAEvAP//AAA=");

("noscript.abe.editor". I'll assume that is OSX <Linux> specific. Not used in Windows.)

With NoScript v1.9.6.9 the behaviour has changed a little. Now it switches back and forth between TextWrangler (my selected app) and TextEdit. When I first start the edit it comes up in TextEdit. After saving in TextEdit, the next time I click edit (without exiting the Options screen) TextWrangler is launched. If I save from TextWrangler, next edit click launches in TextEdit again. If I don't save and just close the document it will continue to open in the same editor. Saving appears to be the trigger that causes it to toggle. The editor in use persists across close of the Options screen as long as no save operation takes place.

Thanks for reporting, I'm investigating.
