Open in Firefox is a Chrome extension that lets you instantly open the current tab, specific links, or all open tabs in the Firefox browser without manual copying and pasting. Once installed, it can detect if Firefox is running to open links in a new tab or launch a new Firefox window otherwise. Setup requires a minimal native client installation, supported on Windows, Linux, and Mac, with clear instructions and video tutorials provided.

This extension boosts productivity for users who switch between browsers, enabling fast cross-browser navigation through left-clicks, keyboard shortcuts, or the right-click context menu. It supports managed storage for admin-configured preferences, making it ideal for enterprise deployments. Note that this independent project is not affiliated with Mozilla but facilitates easy Firefox integration from other browsers.

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?
