chando la clidad aun
I have chrome book and this is supposedly easy to download but then there is a bunch of stuff to do after that. I’m pretty confident it would work but I’m having difficulties
ok
It seems to work perfectly after one significant tweak: the path to Firefox needs to be corrected. Open the extension’s options and change the path to “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe”, then hit “save”.
Doesn’t work, don’t waste your time on it.
ne fonctionne pas ! dommage je voulais vraiment essayer
Does not work. First, you need to know how to use the command line interface on Mac just to install it. I know how to do CLI on Mac. I successfully run the install command from the proper directory on the Mac (which requires administrative privileges), but the Terminal CLI reported “command not found”. The instructions say Python is required. I have several versions of it installed, including Python3. This extension is not recommended for being DOA.
زين كلش سريع
No problems – love the keyboard shortcut feature, and the option to automatically close the chrome tab. Would like to see ability to automatically open specific urls in firefox, so I don’t have to go through the step of manually running the extension.
works great as intended
Worked great for me on Windows 10. Simple install and easy to use.
The extension did not respond when I clicked on the extension icon. It also did not respond when I clicked on the ‘Open ALL’ option in the context menu.
I think the issue might be that the extension was not pointing to the correct executable location. In my computer the Firefox.exe file is located in ‘Program Files’ and not the ‘Program Files (X86)’ folder.
However, even after I tried to update the Executable file location and it did not change anything. I would suggest adding a browse folder link to open a window that lets the user manually browse to the executable file location in order to ensure that there is not syntax error.
did not work for me
the one by yokris.dev did
The extension worked well for me with Win 8 and Win 10 and was very useful. But it doesn’t work anymore on both Win (8 & 10), possibly since Mozilla updated Firefox to Quantum. Posted the following question to support: Could you confirm that the Extension is not working with Quantum? If yes, do you plan a fix?
Thank’s a lot in advance for your reply.
I downgrade from five to one star, as the extension is not working actually, will upgrade stars again as soon as the extension works again.
Previous opinion (29.10.2015): Works perfectly with Windows 8, very useful extension. Thanks! To work Windows host needs to be installed from Developers website: http://openwithfirefox.wix.com/openwithfirefox (very easy to install).
Doesn’t work
You’ll need to change the path to firefox by right clicking on the button this extension creates and adjust the Options. The auto path doesn’t seem to realise that my firefox is 64bit and is thus at the wrong path. By right clicking on the extension button you can also “Open All”
This actually works. The first two extensions I tried wouldn’t work, even after installing the communicator. But this one works exactly as I wanted. I got tired of copy-pasting URLs in when I needed to open in Firefox, so this is great – thank you.
works Great!
thanks
Works Great! I was able to get the native client installed and after a minute the add-on worked great! The only thing I had to do was chance the file path of the firefox application. The file path on my pc is different than the default file path set on the add-on (Windows 10).
This does what it says on the tin. It’s not difficult to set up as many reviews seem to suggest. Just follow the instructions and away you go.
I’ve 3 starred it, not because it’s average, but was expecting something a little more than launch a file and paste the URL in.
I had an extension about 10 years ago for Firefox that would auto launch IE when I typed in a URL. I was hoping for something like that. Detects a URL > auto open URL in Firefox. Would that be something that’s possible to integrate?
Once you get the native messaging host this works great!
it works but you need to install this:
http://openinfirefox.wixsite.com/openinfirefox
this is the host app for this plugin
it does not work
Doesnt work
