Open in Firefox™ Browser
Open current page, link, or all tabs in the Firefox browser with a left-click or through right-click context menu.
The "Open in Firefox" extension simplifies opening the current tab or links within the current tab in the Firefox browser. This functionality can be initiated via the right-click context menu, a toolbar button, or left-clicking on a link with or without a modifier key. This extension streamlines link transfer between different web browsers, eliminating the need to copy a link from one browser, paste it into the OS clipboard, and then paste it into another browser.
Key Features:
- Open a website's hostname directly in Firefox.
- Open a specific URL in Firefox.
- Launch all URLs containing a specific keyword in Firefox.
- Optionally close the current tab after transferring a link.
- Optionally, do not block the left-click action when transferring a link.
- Support for managed storage, allowing administrators to configure extension settings.
- Support for user-defined JS script to decide whether the link should be blocked and passed to the Firefox browser or not
When the extension detects an open instance of the Firefox browser, it opens the link in a new browser tab. If no open Firefox instance is found, it initiates a new Firefox window.
You can customize URLs or hostnames to be automatically redirected to Firefox from the options page. You also have the option to close the source tab once the link transfer is completed. This allows you to view a specific website in Firefox, even if Chrome is your primary browser.
Important Notes:
1. To use this extension to open links in the Firefox browser, you'll need to install a minimal native client. Installation instructions for the native client are provided when you attempt to open a link. Additionally, there are two short video tutorials in the screenshot section, covering installation steps for both Windows and Linux or Mac operating systems.
2. This extension supports managed storage, allowing domain administrators to configure certain preferences.
3. It can send links via left-click, a combination of left-click and a keyboard meta key, or during top-level navigation.
4. As of now, there is no version available for Chrome OS.

Works as expected on linux. Great specifically for opening all youtube links on firefox 😄.
Does not work.
using open source client is a plus!
Does what it says it does with added, unexpected, install from a third party website (github) Does not appear to affect performance of either browser.
Works fine, as expected. Installing the additional program seems a bit more complicated, it should send you straight to the releases page and it should be just an .exe for windows, imho.
Works perfectly. Ideal for sidestepping blank YouTube videos now that I've been banned from watching them in Chrome.
Doesn't work for url's that are in the Chrome bookmarks, so it's useless for me.

For me it’s working as expected. What about the context menu option though ? I did not find if I can remove it…

Just couldn’t get it to work on Linux Mint 21 Installed “install.sh” and got the result >>> host is ready <<< but when tested got “cannot find the native client. Follow the 3 steps to install the native client”. So I will just have to copy and paste for now.

It doesn't work entirely as it should, for instance I want to use it in the Protonmail PWA, but only the interface elements are opened in Firefox, not links in the email.

התקנה קצת מסורבלת אבל זה עובד פיקס! צריך להוריד את הקובץ שמופיע בדף לאחר שמנסים ללחוץ על הכפתור בפעם הראשונה.. ואז צריך לחלץ את הקובץ למקום כל שהוא [תזכרו לאן חילצתם] ואז צריך להיכנס לתיקיה המחולצת וללחוץ על קובץ בשם "install.bat" הוא ישלח 2 קבצים אל תקיית הדפדפן על מנת שהוא יוכל להיות בתקשורת איתו.. יתחיל לרוץ טקסטים בתוך חלון שחור, ובשלב מסויים הם יפסיקו לרוץ, הוא יבקש ממכם ללחוץ על מקש כל שהוא, ולאחר שתלחצו על מקש כל שהוא החלון השחור יסגר. וזהו כעת בלחיצה אחת יתבצע מעבר של הלשונית הנוכחית מדפדפן כרום לדפדפן פיירפוקס. אותו תוסף ניתן להתקנה גם בפיירפוקס וכך ניתן להעביר לשוניות בין הדפדפנים. הקובץ נבדק באמצעות AVAST ולא נמצא בו וירוסים. תהנו :)
I imagine the extension works fine, but the thing is, my chromebook cant work with this extension. and i cant find why that is. i don't know if my chromebook is a specific make and model, or if my chromebook isn't completely updated. But the video attached to this says that the extension's compatible with chromebooks, even though it's not working for me. \_(-_-)_/

Works as expected. Wanted to use Gmail in Chrome but rest in Firefox and it allows me to do just that. Tested on MacOS. Thanks you.

Funciona increíblemente genial y MUY rápido. Puedes agregar palabras clave y te abre automáticamente el enlace en Firefox, es super sencilla de usar y configurar. Me ha encantado, me hace la vida más fácil. OJO, te pide instalar un pequeño script adicionalmente.
Funciona perfeitamente.

It doesn't seem to work for Chrome OS. I downloaded the zip file but what I got seems to be for windows and they don't have an available file for chromebooks, or at least as far as I can see. Also, the steps are way too vague and don't really help if you don't already know what you're doing. I think it should be made clear it doesn't work for chromebooks.

Bien, mais avec Vivaldi, et Vivaldi connect, impossible d'avoir une configuration portable d'une machine à l'autre, si elles n'ont pas le même OS !
Thank you very much! Please to support new menu context "Open Link in incognito Firefox window"

It works! Great for multi-monitor setup

It works for me (and in the Brave Browser no less)! Just install the extension, download the zip file it tells you to download, extract in contents into a local folder (I used "Documents/Open in FireFox" as my folder), and then double click on the install.bat file. Hit any key in CMD Prompt when it opens and you are set! Well probably anyway.
