Spotify Desktop-ify Firefox

Spotify Desktop-ify

Open Spotify URIs/web player links in the desktop app every time
Download Install

Features & Capabilities

Spotify Desktop-ify is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your Spotify experience by automatically opening Spotify URIs and web player links in the desktop app instead of the browser. This ensures uninterrupted music playback without navigation away from your current page.

Key features include support for all Spotify content types such as songs, playlists, concerts, podcasts, and user profiles. It avoids autoplay interruptions and auto-closes new tabs opened by the redirection. Additionally, Spotify Desktop-ify strips tracking IDs from links to improve privacy. The extension only redirects direct content link-clicks, allowing you to still browse open.spotify.com freely.

Spotify Desktop-ify is open-source and built on a Firefox fork of a Chrome project to bring smooth, integrated Spotify control right in your desktop environment.

Perfect! This prevents spotify from clearing my queue when opening links
by st*****, 2025-08-07
It only started working after reinstalling Spotify through the Windows Store. When clicking a link it starts playing the music, but there is a delay in the play bar. Might be a Spotify issue, but for some reason the extension "Open in Spotify desktop client" does not have this problem. I like this extension better because it does not need all the added permissions.

Is Spotify Desktop-ify 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.

Spotify Desktop-ify requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
