Browser-Switch Shortcuts for Firefox and SeaMonkey

This extension displays a list of your browsers on your View/Main Context/Tab Context menus in Firefox or SeaMonkey. Clicking on the menu items takes you to the page you're looking at in the browser of your choice.

On Windows, Open With will load a list of browsers from the Windows Registry. You can add your own entries using the Options panel (go to Tools > Add-ons, click on Open With, and then Options):

Known issues

• I've had reports of problems on Mac OS X. I haven't confirmed these as I have limited access to Macs. Will try to fix and update ASAP. Fixed in version 3.1.
• I suspect manually entering a path with a space character fails. Try putting the path in "double quotes". Fixed.
• If you have the Menu Editor add-on installed, Open With menu items probably won't display in the order you'd expect. Use Menu Editor to re-order them. Fixed in version 3.7.
• Open With is broken if you have the Tab Mix Plus addon installed. Fixed in version 3.7. Broken again in 4.0, fixed in 4.1.

Extra for experts: hidden option tricks

These extra capabilities can be accessed using the about:config page. They might change with later versions.

• extensions.openwith.hide (Windows only) A space-separated list of browsers to hide (using the name from the registry). For example, to hide Internet Explorer, add iexplore.exe to this preference.
• extensions.openwith.manual.[name].icon Set the icon for a browser by storing the URL (e.g. file:///opt/google/chrome/product_logo_16.png for Chrome on Ubuntu).
