Open in Firefox

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 Chrome extension allows users to seamlessly open the current page, individual links, or all open tabs directly in the Firefox browser. Designed for users switching between browsers, this tool removes the hassle of manually copying and pasting URLs from Edge to Firefox. When Firefox is already running, links open in new tabs; if not, a new Firefox window launches.

This extension requires a small native client installation, with easy-to-follow video tutorials for Windows, Linux, and Mac. Admins can configure preferences via managed storage, enabling flexible control. The extension supports opening links via left-click, keyboard combinations, and context menus, making web navigation smoother across browsers. For details and support, visit the official FAQ and bug report pages linked within the extension.

I use Edge for Gmail in Offline Mode, but my main Browser is Firefox, so I wanted to open clicked links with Firefox. With this add-on and reverse mode it works perfectly! One important thing: You should also add mail.google.com/ to the first input field ("Comma-separated list of domains to open with the external browser when the link is opened with left-click"), so Gmail still shows PDF-previews normally inside the same window. ;)

I want use Edge for PWAs. But my default browser is Firefox. I want to click on links in PWAs that open in Firefox. This extension helps me to that. I installed the extension in Edge, enabled Reverse Mode, and installed the native client. Thanks!

If I'm understanding correctly, the native client creates a server which listens on localhost and executes commands received, such as list all the files in a directory, copy, move and delete files, or execute any process or script... which sounds like a huge security risk. Why does the native client need all this functionality? What am I not understanding here?
