I have a local web page with links to .txt files ;.txt files; I want Firefox to open the files with GVim, not in the browser window. How do I do this?

In Firefox "General -> Preferences -> Applications -> plain"Options" → "General" → "Applications" → "plain text document" I have selected "Use GVim (default)". However, the files continue opening in a browser tab.

I did the same for PHP scripts : "Use GVim" ;GVim"; they open in a GVim window. Precisely the behavior I'm wanting with .txt.txt files.
