How to configure Firefox mime type to open text files in gedit / external editor.
OS: Ubuntu 20.04 Firefox 113.0(64 Bit )
I am building a website on my hard drive just using files.
EX: file:///home/username/notes/main.html
<a href="/home/username/folder/file.txt"></a>
I put an anchor link in the html source , and when I click on it I want it to open file.txt with gedit. I can get c files to do it , but .txt files open in Firefox.

Files that are send as text/plain or files with a .txt file extension are always opened in Firefox. You can check this thread:
