Original review: Doesn't open Gmail PDFs. Just re-opens "preview in Firefox" pop-up over and over again. Doesn't work.Одговор на развивачот
posted пред 4 годиниWorks 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 5од Jacques BALEMEYA, пред 4 години

posted пред 4 годиниThe 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 2 out of 5од Firefox user 13536012, пред 4 годиниdoes not work reliably in full screen mode under mac os

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

- Rated 2 out of 5од piecevcake, пред 5 годиниWorks for PDF, jpg/png files not recognised by ff because of some misdescription of the link in the web site.
DOES NOT OPEN csv, doc* or xls* files- the dialog opens, server sent MIME and MIME from file extension both just open FF open with external editor dialog! Text, html , web open gobbledegook.
Marked down for wasting half a day figuring this out trying to figure out the teeny "other" dropdown menu which shows the beginning of lines (in the empty dialog spanning 2 monitors+) then snaps shut when you even try to screenshot it (hint-zoom page to max shows more of the lines width). If your addon doesn't do something, TELL US. If it does, instructions? or better still can dev set it up properly please (cf docs online viewer addon which DOES preview office docs in the browser when clicked.)
Dialog really does disappear if you tick "do this automatically" box. To restore dialog, Tools>open in browser>prefs, click "default" for the filetype.
Click "open in firefox" option to access "open with external app" dialog or open html link in ff.
Dialog expands wider than 3 monitors. notified dev, not fixed after a year. 6/6/2020.
