[SOLVED] Unable to use Javascript editor in any browser

Question

I'm not able to edit a Tumblr theme because I cannot find a browser compatible with their Javascript editor, which unfortunately is a requirement.  I was hoping to use Firefox, which I know works on Windows, but all the editing controls such as copy/cut/paste are lost.  I have read many articles on the subject, including addons such as "AllowClipboardHelper" but I believe they're all outdated or irrelevant, since none of the solutions work.  I tried using Epiphany, Chromium, Opera, and Midori, but they all seem to do worst.  Some don't even display the text.  I did find one way though, namely to use Rekonq (not Konqueror) in KDE, but I'd much rather use Firefox in Gnome if possible.
Edit:
It turns out that it was the "All-In-One-Gestures" addon that caused the problem.  Once disabled, the editor works as expected.  However, I still don't see why it fails in the other browsers.  Feel free to delete this post.

Answer 1

well.. this question has little to do with the VMware kit.. it's a generic SQL*Plus question.. following 3 keywords: "sqlplus default editor" in google give the answer..
1. from the shell use EDITOR as environment variable.
$ export EDITOR=emacs
2. inside SQLPlus you can use "define _EDITOR=emcas"
3. to get out of that afiedt.buf prompt, just hit Control-D.
4. As I recall emacs is not installed due to space considerations.
enjoy,
