Open With by Geoff Lankow
Review by Magnum
Rated 5 out of 5
by Magnum, 4 years agoThis extension is absolutely amazing. I consider it one of the very select "Absolutely Mandatory and Indispensable" extensions I always use. I truly do not know how I lived without it, before first finding it. I don't know why Mozilla isn't pushing this as one of the *Recommended* extensions, because it should. Maybe I'm overestimating the number of people who would be interested in launching a webpage from one browser directly into a specific other browser, but for those that ever do this more than occasionally, this thing is terrific. I love Open With so much.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17391463, a year agoSeveral years ago the developer stopped supporting his plugins to focus on Thunderbird. I hope he isn't the one responsible for how bad Thunderbird is now, because if so he should have stuck to plugins.
- Rated 5 out of 5by sadfvgbnm, a year ago>3. Open a command prompt. Run the file with the argument "install", like this:
>open_with_windows.py install
>If you move the file, you must run this step again.
Note for the noobs like me: The command should be:
python open_with_windows.py install - Rated 5 out of 5by Vietz, a year agoWorks well, just follow the installation instruction (native client)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Majid_KSA, 3 years agoUsed to be one of my favorite addons. Did not use it for a long time.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Afzal, 3 years agoDiscontinued by developer, so move onto something else. And it no longer works, and no point in trying to find out why.
- Rated 1 out of 5by J007, 3 years agoAs noted in the "About this extension" section and on the Github repo, this is no longer maintained as of 2022. Further, it doesn't seem to work for many people. For myself, it doesn't work on an m2 mac with Firefox 114.

If it breaks in the future try the following alternative addon:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12900474, 3 years agoI heard that the "Open With" developer no longer maintains the extension (I hope that some developer continues to update and maintain the extension, as it is very useful to open YT-DLP and video players such as MPV, PotPlayer, VLC and MPC- HC)
