The current version 1.07 does not work quite as it sounds.
I opened the Mozilla mail and the vim is not launched when composing a message.
When Viewing the page source or edit textarea, it reports an error: temporary directory c:\windows\temp does not exist.What the heck is this? it certainly does not exist on any PCs which do not have windows98 installed, neither does it exist on PCs which do not have the system installed on drive c:
The 'standard' temp directory should be %systemdrive%\winnt\temp. While user may specify their preference of temp directory in environment variable %temp%.
What is more, I found problem uninstalling this plugin...

It works great for me on my W2k box.
Assuming that
1. gvim.exe is located at C:\vim\gvim.exe
2. temperoray directory is C:\tmp
Following is the setting in my user.js:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
user_pref("mozex.command.source", "C:\\vim\\gvim.exe %t");
user_pref("mozex.command.textarea", "C:\\vim\\gvim.exe %t");
user_pref("mozex.general.tmpdir", "C:\\tmp");
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Note that mozillaFB plugin uninstall is still buggy,
and that is why I only have one plugin installed.

So, is there any alternative way to safety remove the mozex plugin?

To remove firebird plugin, I guess the best way for now is to wait for official release of Firebird 0.7 and install from the beginning. You can also try grep "mozex" in your profile directory and edit one by one.
I believe future Firebire will have a solid uninstallation feature.
Also, I put a request on mozilla site for a builtin vim-view-source support:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=28677
Please back me up if you want such a feature, to put together the two best applications (vim and mozillaFB) in the world. Thanks.

Just found that we can vote for this bug ("allow external source viewer/editor"):
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172817
If enough votes are gathered, then I guess we can use vim to view source in mozillaFB!

The problem in MozillaFB is less serious than that in Mozilla (brower), in mozilla, you wil be unable to edit the textarea, nor view the source page, whether you want to use vim or not.

I have installed Mozex into Mozilla
In browser window I can right-click and select Mozex->view page source
I get a Vim window with a page source. MAGNIFICENT!
However I could not start Vim from inside Mozilla mail.
How do I do it?
I was hoping that vim fires up whenever I jump into the text composing area
for mail. No luck here
No luck with Thunderbird either.

I'm writing this tip from Vim right now.
Setup is Windows XP, Firefox 0.8, Vim 6.2.
Download & Install latest mozex from the url mentioned above ( http://mozex.mozdev.org/ ). After it's installed, go to Tools, Options, Extensions. Select Mozex and select Options.
My temp directory is "C:\temp", so that's what I entered in the "Directory for temporary files" field.
Vim is located at "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim62\gvim.exe" on my system. However, mozex isn't handling its input in a very graceful way yet. Thus, spaces trip it up. The solution (which can be found on the Mozex site) is to use DOS short filenames. Thus the path becomes "C:\Progra~1\Vim\vim62\gvim.exe". We also have to pass an argument to vim so that it knows what to edit. "%t" is the argument for editing source and textareas so the input for both fields is "C:\Progra~1\Vim\vim62\gvim.exe %t".
I don't think you can use Vim for mail, as the mail function passes many more options than the body text. Check Mozex's argument list though ( http://mozex.mozdev.org/arguments.html ). I'm not a vim hacker, just a vim user. Perhaps someone with more experience could get vim to edit e-mails.

It works for me: Mozilla 1.6 on Linux (Fedora Core 2). I am using it
now. Remember to click in text area after :w from vim!
Here are my settings:
Intercept clicks: mailto (maybe I'll add ftp later)
Mailer: gnome-terminal -x mutt mailto:%A?subject=%S&cc;=%C&body;=%B
Source: /usr/local/bin/gvim %t (full path may not be needed)
Textareas: /usr/local/bin/gvim %t
Download: when does this apply?

I want to use mozex for edit textarea on hungarian pages, but ő will be q and the same is with ŐűŰ characters. Can I edit unicode text with gvim and mozex?

| My firefox theme (chrome) has a browser.jar file with a BrowserViewSourceOfURL(url, charset, pageCookie) function. It looks like a good place to put code to spit things out to a tempfile and open vim. If Firefox does not stop this for security reasons. Of course I don't really know what I'm doing, or I'd have done it or decided that it makes no sense. Comments?

I haven't tried this yet, but it should view source in whatever editor you want.

Another use of this is to put vim up inside your screen session. I'm running on cygwin, so screen is slightly broken, but this works for me.
screen -X screen /usr/bin/vim $@
sleep .2 # ugly hack due to mozex deleting the file as soon as the screen process finishes (just before vim reads it)
put that is a script file (~/bin/screenvim maybe) and set the textarea option as follows:
c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe "c:\home\me\bin\screenvim" %t
Et viola.

Unable to open the temporary file. Chech the temporary directory setting
That is the message I receive over and over again although I re-installed TB several times, cleaned the win/temp file, and I have enough space on my hard.
How can I make it work again?
