PWA Links Firefox

PWA Links

By: Onred
Opens external links in your default browser. Any links that share the same origin will be unaffected. Works best if your default browser is not Firefox or if this addon is installed in a different Firefox profile than your default profile.

Features & Capabilities

This extension requires you to download a native application to function properly. Please visit https://github.com/Onred/pwalinks for installation instructions.

Once the native application is installed, while this extension is enabled, any links to external websites will be redirected by the native application to open in your default browser. Failure to properly install the native application will result in these links becoming unresponsive until the extension is disabled.

This extension is especially useful if you use Firefox profiles for your PWAs. It allows you to treat your PWA like a native application as external links will no longer take over the application window. Instead external links open in a new (your default) browser/profile.

User Reviews

This extension has potential but unfortunately it doesn't work. All links redirect back to main FF window. The "Launch this site" button still appears in toolbar, I guess the objective of this extension is to click that button, then close the current window. Only tested on Windows 10.

Is PWA Links Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PWA Links requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
