How can it NOT be a Firefox issue if the API doesn't provide a way to
start an external program for security reasons?
If you are a painter and your customer wants the wall to be painted red,
but the only paint shop in the world (i. e. the one you are dependent
on) sells only green and blue paint atm - can you do what your customer
asked you to? No.
But you're that customer now who says "funny how it is always the paint
shop's fault if you can't paint a wall red". C'mon, be fair! If some
functionality is simply unavailable in the API, there's not much
developers can do.
Show me just one web extension add-on that has any feature to save a
file to your file system and then open that file with a pre-selectable
application but not the default one.
If we have that, we can restore the external editor functionality. But
I'm pretty sure you won't find such an add-on - because there is
currently no API method allowing an extension to tell Firefox to do that.

Funny how every time something doesn't work as expected it's always
Firefox
devs' fault. GM used to be an amazing addon but I'm afraid that if GM
devs
don't start being more open about these issues they'll soon have no
userbase left. Blaming Firefox and locking bug reports for no good reason
won't help. Sadly most of the people I know has already moved on to other
solutions that still work despite the recent Firefox updates.
