Open Websites in Google Chrome from Firefox

That’s smart,reducing the gap between Chrome and Firefox3. I’ll give it a try,

This is a great idea. I don’t think that Chrome is nearly ready to by my “Full Time” browser, but it is pretty fast on some sites/services. I like the idea of being able to use Firefox for most stuff, but use Chrome as a specialized application for certain web services.
I don’t see Chrome as a replacement, rather a sidekick.

Amit will you please chill with google chrome , you are getting toooo obsessed with it . Until it has extensions and addons the mainstream crowd wont get into it .

This is exactly what I had planned to develop, neways its good that at least the idea has been developed, installed on my FF :)

Thks!

Why do we need to open websites in Chrome from Firefox? To do so in IE has its own purpose, because some web sites are designed for IE, especially in banking – using ActiveX. Does Chrome support ActiveX? I don’t think so.

Amit, I am sticking where I’am at for now, thanks

<user> is crack when <user> is not English.
For example, “C:\Documents and Settings\박병준\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” is displayed as C:\Documents and Settings\Ñ in setting window of this extension.

Wow, this is cool to be able to use both at the same time.

can anyone explain me why there is so much BUZZ for google chrome??

Hey Amit, Chrome Chrome Chrome…… You are Googling more on Chrome.

Now Firefox guys/gals will not be very happy with this. I think we are in for some interesting browser wars for next many months.

One issue. I would like to open a website right-in Firefox. I don’t want to launch Chrome. Just like IE Lite does. Else, I am just fine anyway.

Sweet! thanks for posting this – I love it!

Chrome is still too primitive for me. It’s okay to give it a free spin and be wowed with some of underlings like multiprocessor and task manager, but the almost complete lack of customization at this point will relegate Chrome to the back burner on my PC.

And BTW, can someone write an extension to include open/openlink in a list of browsers (IE, Opera, Safari, Chrome etc…of your choice instead of 5 extensions for each browser?

This looks to conflict directly with the IE View Lite…. with both plug-ins installed, the options for IE View lite show the same properties as the Open in Chrome plugin. Seems you’re slight tweaks are overlapping? Any change of getting that fixed quickly/easily?

I followed the steps here and now firefox wont even open. Suggestions?

firefox -safe-mode and disabled. Great idea I really like it, but cant seem to get it to work.

this is what I wanted when I installed chrome last night I think chrome is great but firefox is like an old friend to use both is fantastic thank you

IMO, I think anything out of Google’s glove box will be debated and talked much. Make your own reasons. Just an observation.

Chill,
Deepak.

Too bad it’s FF3+ only. I just checked again a few hours ago and several of my (often-used) extensions weren’t FF3 capable YET.

Thanks though. Guess I’ll have to get around to this one later, something I’ve always wanted for IE7 testing too (hint, hint).

This is the most absurd extension I’ve ever seen. The purpose in opening a web page in another browser than Firefox is when only the other browser is able to handle that pages’s content, such as IE for specific topics or code. If anything had a sense it, it would be to enable viewing a page from Google Chrome in Firefox or IE ! Plain waste of time.

Firefox is still THE preferred browser, all these buzz about Chrome notwithstanding.

to jason I had that problem also if FF is your default and you use google when it opens and you set chrome to open pages in google set FF to open in blank page and change the settings as needed hope this helps

if firefox will not open check your settings if you set chrome to show pages say yahoo and you have yahoo set to open with firefox it will go to chrome as you have it do open firefox menu change or remove settings and firefox will open as normal

“Open Websites in Google Chrome”?
My solution: I’ve deinstalled FF, Chrome is now my default browser.

It does not seem to work in Windows 2000.

What can be put in the “Parameters” box? Specifically I would like to Open in Google Chome incognito.

Using FF3. Can’t find a button that changes a page to chrome. It does succeed in automatically switching a given address to the chrome browser. Could it be because i already have iefox installed? Any help welcome.

Thanks, but I don’t really see the point for all this. Firefox 3 is standards compliant browser, why would you want to test in Chrome? Chrome isn’t better than firefox, quite the contrary. I think a lot of people are switching just because it’s Google’s browser.

Ky: Actually, chrome is quite standards compliant. And has many more built-in features than FF.

I cannout make “Open in Google Chrome” work with Portable Google Chrome. Not sure what arguments to pass to make it use my profile.

What parameter would I set to have the window open incognito?

I installed it successfully but When I tried to open a google page from firefox3, the Crome window open and displays a message “Something went wrong while displaing this message. To continue, press Reload or go to another page.”

Please help me out.

Does anyone know how to do the reverse? I’m interested in using Chrome for gmail only, and have any links open in Firefox.

Strange, how an open source browser (Firefox) needs an extension to add something to the context menu whereas it can be done using Registry Editor or Notepad in proprietary browsers (Internet Explorer, Opera).

LeMiffe is right; Google Chrome uses the Webkit rendering engine (same as Safari), so you can expect it to be standards-compliant. Google Chrome also loads faster than Firefox. Shame there are no extensions at the moment.

My fav thing about Chrome is the way it intelligently loads pages. The content of the page is treated as high priority so it’s the first thing that pops up. The ads transition in slowly which is very neat

one thing i’ve noticed is when you open in google chrome (from firefox) it is slower then opening chrome on its own in fact it is slower then firefox is i’ve beenlooking at the about:config settings on the web and have not found a solution for this which makes this, well pointless if its going to be slower (even with google sites) way even have the ability any info would be wonderful

FireFox still has a ton of tab-based features that Chrome doesn’t offer. It also has some handy auto-remember features that i can’t do without

This is awesome. For those wondering why somebody would want to use this addon, one reason is that Firefox has a huge problem streaming videos. Since a huge part of my job requires watching streaming videos all day long, the constant lagging, stuttering or complete stalling is horribly frustrating. I had actually installed Safari just for video sites. Now Safari is un-installed and all those sites automatically open in Chrome :) Now if only my 20 other Firefox addons were available for Chrome, I’d be a convert.

Hey, i have a question about Google Chrome. It’s about using only Google Chrome without Mozilla Firefox (setting Google Chrome as Favorite). Can i make Google Chrome open normal link’s… like clicking them wont work at all, can’t open any link’s with Google Chrome. Thank you

I cannot open the charts on Investors Business Daily with Explorer 6 or Firefox 3.08. Will Google’s Chrome, along with Firefox or alone open the chart web site?
