Description

Launch a text editor from a carefully crafted link from Firefox.

This script is meant to be invoked from Firefox, with the Mozex plug-in, from links that specify a filename and line number:

edit://<filename>:<line-no>

Those links are shown by my web application framework in stack traces, when there is an error. This allows me to simply click on the links to open the files in a running Emacs (with emacsclient).
