Thanks to a slightly off-topic discussion on linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, I recently discovered MozEx: http://mozex.mozdev.org/.
This is a very cool extension to firefox and friends.
In particular, I can tell it to use my favourite editor (emacs in my case) to edit the content of a text-area.
That means that instead of having to use the text editor that is built in to firefox (which is fairly lame) to edit my blog entries, I can use emacs, and get all it's nice features like flyspell etc.
I haven't tried it extensively yet, and have only just hacked emacsclient to open files in new frames (as my emacs is usually in a different workspace when I am using firefox) but I am using it for this blog entry, and it seems to work just fine.
