by J007, 2 years agoAs noted in the "About this extension" section and on the Github repo, this is no longer maintained as of 2022.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.

"The script's primary purpose is to allow a browser extension to execute commands on the local machine. This capability, while useful for legitimate purposes (like opening files with specific applications), inherently carries a security risk. The direct execution of receivedMessage without apparent input validation is a critical vulnerability." - Rated 4 out of 5by EbenieAmaazon, 7 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17391463, 7 months 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, 7 months 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, 9 months agoWorks well, just follow the installation instruction (native client)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Majid_KSA, 2 years agoUsed to be one of my favorite addons. Did not use it for a long time.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Afzal, 2 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 Firefox user 16666464, 2 years agoCould not get the extension to work. No debug codes were given in the firefox browser console, python console or CMD console

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)

- Rated 1 out of 5by NitramLK, 3 years agoOnly for Unix geeks. I'm no newbie, but have tried absolutely everything on here and it simply will not install. Latest version of Python? Check. ---Terminal commands: can only get it ti recognise if I drag the .py file onto terminal. Then, install sill not run no matter the combo. 'Command not found'. This should be part of T-Bird's BASIC setups.
