Ubuntu – Notepad++ – cannot launch Firefox

14.04wine

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and Notepad++ 6.6.4 (through WINE)

Under the 'Run' tab, I clicked on "Launch in Firefox" , but nothing happened

I uninstalled Notepad++ and WINE, then shutdown.
I re-installed Notepad++ and WINE and still have the same problem.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Notepad++ doesn't work out of the box via Wine with the installed Firefox software.

You will need to install Firefox under Wine to make it work, using the Windows installer for Firefox. Notepad++ should then work with Firefox under Wine.

An alternative to Notepad++ is the already-installed gedit software. It does most of the same functions as Notepad++ in terms of syntax highlighting and such, and comes included with Ubuntu.

Try Kate.

Kate is a multi-document editor. Choose it for viewing HTML sources, editing configuration files, writing new applications or any other text editing task. You still need just one running instance of Kate.

With a multi-view editor like Kate you get a lot of advantages. You can view several instances of the same document and all instances are synchronized. Or you can view more files at the same time for easy reference or simultaneous editing.¹

To install kate, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install kate
