## Description

Browser Tamer for Firefox integrates the Windows Browser Tamer app with Mozilla Firefox, letting you open links and pages in other browsers with a single click. Install the Browser Tamer Windows app (https://github.com/aloneguid/bt) and add this extension to enable right-click "Open with Browser Tamer" and a toolbar button to send the current page to another browser.

The extension also provides a custom protocol handler to open links directly into Firefox Containers (requires Browser Tamer v3.3+). You can invoke the handler from the command line or via links like `ext+bt:name=MyContainer&url=https://mozilla.org`. Windows only — designed to streamline multi-browser workflows and containerized browsing.
