[TxMt] services menu

[Lloyd Williams]

The install "edit in TextMate" works now in Mail and Safari but not  
in Firefox, which is my primary browser. I would like to avoid any  
shell scripts since that is above my skill set at present. Is there  
something else I need to do to make it work in Firefox?
