Extension Metadata

About this extension
This add-on is intended to be used in Firefox profiles that are being used for apps/PWAs.
This provides something slightly closer to an "app" feel, where the links you click on open in your regular browser.
It works by detecting links going outside of the current domain, and redirecting them to open in your OS's default browser.

How to install:
See https://gitlab.com/neilsimp1/switcheroo#how-to-install
