Use vim to view source or edit textareas in Firefox

Mmmm - mmmmh! Two great things that taste better together: vim & Firefox! Here's a page titled How to use Vim with Firefox that walks you through installing, configuring, & using the ViewSourceWith extension. Once that puppy's in place, you can either view a web page's html source using vim (or gvim) or - and this is SO FREAKING COOL! - you can right-click in any textarea, choose View Source With, and then you're editing that textarea in an external instance of vim. Save it, close it, and that stuff goes into that textarea. Too cool!
