- Rated 5 out of 5by cloudrac3r, 4 years agoExtremely handy for opening XML, audio and video directly in Firefox instead of having to save it, then use another application. A must-have.

Original review: Doesn't open Gmail PDFs. Just re-opens "preview in Firefox" pop-up over and over again. Doesn't work.Developer response
posted 5 years agoWorks for me when I open the attachment in a new tab (e.g. via the contextmenu).
Do you have any other extensions or special configuration that may affect Gmail or PDFs?
And since you're mentioning PDF files: Firefox 78 has a new option in the download dialog to view PDF files directly in the browser. It looks like this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773942#c28
EDIT: To clarify, my comment about Firefox 78 is independent of your original review. If the extension doesn't work, open a bug report on Github or send me an email. I pointed to the upcoming new feature of Firefox, in case you only installed this extension to open PDF files directly in the browser (and no other file types). If that is the case, then you don't need the extension any more in Firefox 78+ because of the built-in functionality. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jacques BALEMEYA, 5 years ago

Developer response
posted 5 years agoThe need for permissions is explained here: https://github.com/Rob--W/open-in-browser/issues/62
Side note: browsing history is a relatively harmless permission. You should be much more concerned when an add-on asks for "Access your data for all websites".- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13445875, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by grahamperrin, 5 years agoFive stars for legacy version 1.18 – tested OK with Waterfox Classic with the URLs below, which were problematic with alternative extensions:

I assume that version 2.9 for Firefox Quantum is equally good.
