Re: editing textareas in Firefox with vim

I've been using "textern" for this, though I don't use it
heavily.  It's working for me on Ubuntu 16.04 with Firefox
61.0.1 and GVim 8.1.290.  Here are the steps I followed to
install:

- Install URL:
  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/textern/

- References:
  https://github.com/jlebon/textern

- Bring down native app::

    cd ~/build
    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jlebon/textern
    cd textern

- Install native app::

    make native-install USER=1

- In Firefox preferences for textern:

  - Set "External Editor" to ``["gvim", "--nofork"]``.

- Press Ctrl-Shift-E to bring up editor.
