- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12518444, 3 years agoV 7.1 (Python 2.7) stopped working after upgrade to Firefox 100.0.2 from 99.0.b8.
"Something went wrong. There might be more information in the Browser Console.."
Any ideas? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17421653, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by metal321, 3 years agoI've looked thru the reviews for this extension to figure out how to install it and none of the suggestions have helps. When I run the cmd line I get the same result every time:
C:\Users\metal321\OpenWithScript>open_with_windows.py install
This is the Open With native helper, version 7.2.6.
Run this script again with the word "install" after the file name to install.
I found this extension: Open in Google Chrome Browser

It works by simply installing it and there are a number of other
extensions for other browsers and programs listed here:

I type the path in cmd with the script name and then install, but cmd keeps telling me to type install.

I have no idea where the error is. - Rated 1 out of 5by Kentaskis, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Magnum, 3 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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14527050, 3 years agoA little messy to install, but very useful when you get it going.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Hans Hansen, 3 years agoWorks perfectly on Manjaro Linux! The AMO page should mention that the extension requires additional setup after installation. It took me a while to figure out that I need to go to the Options page after installing the extension.
- Rated 5 out of 5by decembre, 3 years agoA little touchy to install it for a newbie like me...
But once you follow the instructions given, it work like a charm!
Thanks a lot from a Waterfox Classic user. - Rated 5 out of 5by rado84, 4 years agoAWESOME! I wanted such an extension for a long time! The best part? It supports Linux, unlike some other similar extensions! :D
This extension has a HUGE potential! I just added SMPlayer to watch YT vids in it and damn - it works! :D :D - Rated 4 out of 5by maxy, 4 years agoUseful to run commands like mpv or yt-dlp. I've quickly reviewed parts of the source code, looks fine.
For the above commands, best practice is to add "--" as the last argument. (Maybe not a real concern, because the URL is passed as a single argument and probably cannot start with "-", but just in case.)
(Update 2023-12: Keeps working for me, for years, without maintenance.
Intitial setup was a hassle, but it's much easier than when I wrote my own private extension for the same purpose. Firefox keeps deactivating that one all the time, because apparently I shouldn't trust my own code, lol.) - Rated 5 out of 5by José Neder, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by searchwp, 4 years agoThank you for a very nice add-on.
I have one request, but I want you to be able to export the settings - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12571203, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Carlos Sierra, 4 years agoLa verdad es fácil la instalación y funciona correctamente. sería bueno que estuviera para los demás exploradores.
- Rated 1 out of 5by PeaceByJesus.net, 4 years agoDoes not work in Quantum: instructions are poor and following a tutorial for installing the two additional files still results in failure. Sorry.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16959200, 4 years agoNécessite Python, pas facile à installer avec Windows, Surtout un Windows 7 !
- Rated 5 out of 5by camslice, 4 years agoExcellent add-on. Installation requires a few extra steps, but the instructions are very clear. Deserves donations.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16748986, 4 years agoI kept checking back to the reviews in hopes of more info on the installation of "open with", and there it was. I put open_with_windows.py in my Windows\system32......opened a command prompt, which opened in the Windows\system32 folder, and ran the open_with_windows.py install, and that was it for me. I ran test installation in my Browser and Thunderbird, and it showed, "Found version 7.2.3 at C:\Windows\System32\open_with_windows.py." I then edited the order of my four Browsers, with Firefox on top.
Thanks to all the reviews with the help, and thanks to the the Author of this addon!! - Rated 5 out of 5by John McGrath, 4 years ago
