av Firefox-användare 13509334, för 9 år sedanINSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL IN WINDOWS BELOW
So far this is working fine with Windows 8.1 - I will report back if I have any issues in 7 or 10 when I get around to installing it on my other systems.
For those not understanding WHY this new setup is required, Firefox has completely changed how extensions will work moving forward. Long story short, they took away the deep functionality which pretty much all developers relied on. Trust me, no one is happy about it and the majority of devs are publicly jumping ship.
However, I'm not sure of the issue from reviewers about installing Python for this extension to work, since all it does is expand a few language extensions in the background on your computer. Python has been around since 1991 and trustworthy. A standard user will never see a difference in any normal day to day operations.
For those who do not understand how to install in Windows:
1. Install Python (Download from link, run file, and then follow install screens)
2. Download the linked .py file and then move it to a special folder or the root of your C:/ drive (I put mine under the python install folder/Lib)
3. Open a Windows Command prompt (Type command or cmd into Start Menu search and select the cmd.exe)
4. Navigate inside the command prompt to the folder where you put the file in #2 (i.e. "cd c:\path_of_file_folder")
5. Run the command given in instructions: "open_with_windows.py install" (You must be in the same folder as the file)
6. Click Test in the extension info screen inside of Firefox. It will tell you immediately if it worked and you can begin finding/adding external programs to launch

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 17391463, för ett år sedanSeveral years ago the developer stopped supporting his plugins to focus on Thunderbird. I hope he isn't the one responsible for how bad Thunderbird is now, because if so he should have stuck to plugins.

>open_with_windows.py install
>If you move the file, you must run this step again.
Note for the noobs like me: The command should be:
python open_with_windows.py install - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Vietz, för 2 år sedanWorks well, just follow the installation instruction (native client)

- Betygsatt 4 av 5av Majid_KSA, för 3 år sedanUsed to be one of my favorite addons. Did not use it for a long time.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Afzal, för 3 år sedanDiscontinued by developer, so move onto something else. And it no longer works, and no point in trying to find out why.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av J007, för 3 år sedanAs noted in the "About this extension" section and on the Github repo, this is no longer maintained as of 2022. Further, it doesn't seem to work for many people. For myself, it doesn't work on an m2 mac with Firefox 114.

If it breaks in the future try the following alternative addon:

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 12900474, för 3 år sedanI heard that the "Open With" developer no longer maintains the extension (I hope that some developer continues to update and maintain the extension, as it is very useful to open YT-DLP and video players such as MPV, PotPlayer, VLC and MPC- HC)
