Why does clicking on the style.css and line number automatically open an html page?

first time using this and can't figure out why it does this or how to configure it to open with a different editor

Which version of Firefox do you have? In Firefox 20, clicking style.css switches the display to the Style Editor rather than opening the source file in its own window. The whole setup looks a bit different. Hmmm...

For launching an external editor, this extension might be handy:

Recent updates are on the "all versions" page:

If you try it, please report back on how it works for you.

actually i'm using 20, just updated today.

don't use firefox much except for testing so i admit i'm a noob on this. anyway on mine, it opens the html page, I think in some sort of firefox editor. when i open the style editor all I see are all the 'imports' to stylesheets.

thanks for the link I'll try it out.
