Works 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.

Very convenient tool to just viewing files directly in the browser instead of downloading! Useful to view GitLab artifact files and in many other situations too.

i can't seem to get this addon to work on some type of rss feeds (extensionless rss file, with application/rss+xml type. can't set "open with firefox/librewolf" for that one in settings either). forcing the addon to be "enabled for all requests" still only opens the generic save dialog, and doesn't show this addon's options in regular window (but it ironically works fine in private window, however even using that to make it work doesn't help in regular browsing, despite being present in 'your saved MIME actions', not to mention my rss feed doesn't work in private browsing either, so i can't use that).

ótima extensão, evita de ter que baixar um arquivo que não seja necessário armazená-lo

Looks bad for me, I guess because of using CustomCSSforFx.

Extremely handy for opening XML, audio and video directly in Firefox instead of having to save it, then use another application. A must-have.

Finally, I can inspect yaml files without downloading them. Thank you!

EDIT: Developer replied, I might be doing something wrong. Will wait for Firefox 78 to see if this is fixed.

Original review: Doesn't open Gmail PDFs. Just re-opens "preview in Firefox" pop-up over and over again. Doesn't work.

Works 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.

Why does this addon need my browsing history?
Odgovor razvijalca
objavljeno ob pred 5 leti
The 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".

Five stars for legacy version 1.18 – tested OK with Waterfox Classic with the URLs below, which were problematic with alternative extensions:

https://github.com/progit/progit2/releases/download/2.1.109/progit.pdf

https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/stusb4500.pdf

https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/document.cfm?doc_id=62684

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