I usually surf with IE. But sometimes I need to view an URL in Firefox. Here's a fast way to open your current IE URL in Firefox:

UDC OpenWith
Caption: Firefox via Clipboard
Application: "C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" <clipboard>
KS: Ctrl+Alt+F

Now it's easy:
- Ctrl+C the URL from IE's address bar
- Ctrl+Alt+F will open it in Firefox



PS: of course you should adjust the path to firefox to your system!!

This tip is not as good as I thought. It only works as wanted if there are no selections in the List. Else Firefox will attempt to open all selected items as well. Damn, I should read the manual...

It might be an idea to add a source field to that UDC -- just as has been already done in the corresponding openwith scripting command!

hmm, I think all you need to do to get this tip working the way you want is simply to use open and not openwith ! That way List selections or not doesn't matter, and of course you can still use parameters (<clipboard>) on that command as well

Oh yes, master jacky. Thank you for the due punishment!
