Need to open external links in your default Firefox profile? Give 'em the ol' Switcheroo!

Features & Capabilities

Switcheroo is designed for Firefox profiles used as Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) or dedicated app instances. When you click on external links, Switcheroo automatically redirects them to your system's default browser, creating a more native "app-like" experience.

Perfect for users who: • Run Firefox profiles as standalone apps for services like Gmail, Slack, or Teams • Want to keep their work apps separate while sending external links to their main browser • Need a seamless workflow between dedicated app profiles and regular browsing

Features: • Automatically detects and redirects external domain links • Optional dialog to choose where to open each link • Works silently in the background when auto-redirect is enabled • No data collection - respects your privacy
