Using Mozilla/FireFox as a rich text editor?

I've seen a lot of stuff on the Net about using IE for a rich text editor (wrote a control for the forum even). Has anyone seen similar information for doing the same in Mozilla/FireFox? I've searched and searched and I'm not seeing it.

FreeTextBox and RichTextBox both provide rich text editing in FireFox. I also have a RichTextEditor in the .NET web app framework I put together for my consulting company Chronicles Design.

Firefox supports the same "contenteditable=true" attribute and most of the same JavaScript methods for programmatic bold, italics, etc. I use a free solution, HtmlArea 3.0b, in my ASP.NET apps (http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/P15734/).

It works great!  Thanks!

A nice Firefox Editor with Cyrillic variation:

<textarea usehtml name="editme" cols=80 rows=30>

Editable content, press F2 to change back and forth in cyrillic

</textarea>

ToCyrillic 0.5.11.1 Homepage by Alex Benenson

You can then copy and paste it into notepad (and save it with unicode format)... does someone else have a better idea for saving?

I use this at work for case notes and it's awesome. When your firefox crashes, computer restarts, etc., and you restore your session, everything you entered is still there, down to the last letter! I don't know how it autosaves so quickly.
