Foxtana Pro - Redirect Cortana by Marc Guiselin

by Firefox user 14191168, 6 years agoThis extension comes from the creator of "Chrometana" Extension in Google Chrome. Unfortunately it doesn't redirect to Firefox using Google Search Engine. It periodically directs me Mozilla Firefox, but still uses Bing; though I have the extension settings set to "Bing+Cortana"
I might suggest the developer carries over/implement options from the Google Chrome "Chromerta" extension, which include further options, such as "Enable "Open Website" and "Apply to all Bing Searches" this may help prevent errors.
However, the Google Chrome extension "Chrometana" works flawlessly in redirecting my Cortana searches to Google Chrome, & from Google Search engine every time!
I'd really love to see this Foxtana Pro extension work as well. Hope for some updates in the future.

posted 6 years agoFoxtana Pro is the firefox version of Chrometana Pro, an extension that aims to fill the gap left by the original chrometana which was abandoned by its author.
Selecting "Bing + Cortana" will redirect all bing searches and cortana searches redirected to the browser to the search engine of your choice. Telling cortana to "open example.com" will result in Foxtana pro opening example.com.
It's unclear to me what issues you are experiencing with Foxtana Pro. If you are talking about Foxtana Pro not working when firefox isn't already opened (and thus bing is opened instead of another search engine), then that is an issue that I am in the process of fixing.
Edit: Fixed in 1.6 :)
