view_source.editor.external not working

[streetwolf]

These two prefs below no longer open up the source in Notepad++ in my case from the context menu. The Fx default editor opens up. I believe this happened a few months back and was fixed. Happens on both e10s and non-e10s. Also, as an aside, setting the pref 'dom.ipc.processCount' to anything but one opens up a blank editor screen. I'm running the latest /tinderbox-builds/mozilla-inbound-win64-pgo/

Confirm one or both problems?


user_pref("view_source.editor.external", true);
user_pref("view_source.editor.path", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe");

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
