Open Meet In... — Firefox / Zen Extension

A Firefox browser extension that automatically redirects Google Meet links to a browser of your choice — such as Helium, Zen, Arc, Brave, Chrome, or Safari. When you open any meet.google.com link in Firefox, the extension intercepts it, opens the link in your selected browser, and closes the Firefox tab.

How It Works

1. The extension monitors navigation events for meet.google.com
2. When a Meet link is detected, it sends the URL to a native messaging host (a Python/Bash script)
3. The native host launches the URL using macOS open -a "BrowserName" <url>
4. The extension closes the original tab

Requirements

• macOS (not tested on Windows or Linux)
• Firefox Browser
• Python 3
