Shame Firefox has gone and killed many add-ons. I can't even get this new version of Open With to work! I don't even understand what you are telling me, Geoff! Maybe I should ask Santa for some intelligence as a Christmas present!
Look, your extension's preferences highlight a 'click here to download' link, but click after click after click on that link does nothing! No link address opens. Baffled!
One final question: Should Open With work in Waterfox?
Thanks for trying, Geoff, and I've really appreciated your past work, but this newie version of yours is too much like hard work to understand, yet operate. Maybe somebody out there who has written positive feedback will let the rest of us know how on earth you got Open With up and running.

All of a sudden after the update the addon doesn't work anymore. I have to install PYTHON to get it working again?!? I've never heard of this kind of thing for any other addon so far. I've downgraded to the previous version even though it shows an OBSOLETE tag, once it's time to update FF I'll simply uninstall it, and search for a possible replacement.

Update out purpose ..............simple as a push

It stopped working. It wants to install some extraneous programs! This is bad! Place better the old version 6. It works without any chuckles.

The update completely ruined the add-on, used to be an essential, now its bloat ware, run and run fast.

Open With is a classic among add-ons. I use the add-on for web development and to open links in desktop software. The developer has been maintaining the add-on for years and has even released a modernized version as a WebExtension. WebExtensions must adhere to restrictions that the developer has overcome with a Python script. This method works fine on Linux.

Many thanks to Dark Trojan!

Open With stopped working with latest release, 7.02. I'm using Firefox 56.0.2 (64-bit).

First - crappy programming. As a retired IT professional I'd like to say if something else was needed to make your updated app work (I.E. Python), along with additional commands, they should have been included to execute in background, Rookie programming here.

It also would have been nice to offer a back-out option to the prior version so we didn't lose the entire function. BTW, I have happily used Open With since day one and I am really disappointed. Time to find an alternative.

this addon is fantastic but with the new version 7.0.1

I did not understand how it works
and what should be done in Step 3 and 4

i have downloaded the file and installed the program but I don't understand the final step

How the extension works when the file is downloaded what should I do ?

thank you in advance

Was good before 7.0. The new version terminates the era of plug & play.

This is too complicated for me to get working. I need more info on the installation process.

PS. I use FF 56. Do I have to run 57 to get it working?

Edit: On +57 now and have looked more careful at installation process. Love it!
