Too many things can go wrong, like everything crashing, etc. Better to open it
in GIMP, then edit, then save, and when you're done, import the file, however
you like to do it, into your office program.
If you're working on short documents, maybe it doesn't matter too much, but
when you have large documents with lots of big graphics files, you will run
into that problem of crashing. And nothing kills inspiration like a
misbehaving machine.

Ah, hit send too soon :( Another possibility...
As they are both open source, IF LO and FF are written in close to the same
language and if you also know a similar language, it shouldn't be terribly
difficult to rip out the FF code (about:preferences > General >
Applications) and merge it into LO. LO already has a 'Paths' section, so
you could use that for your LO template.
