Open web address from one browser into another. Possible?

Hi,

My default browser is Chrome, but I sometimes I need to open in Firefox a website found in Chrome by manually copying/pasting from one browser to another.

Would Fastkeys provide a command that I would select the address in Chrome, then access the command in order the selected website would be load automatically in Firefox?

I use the following command to open any selected text in Google Search. What I am looking for is based on that principle, but I don't have idea how to handle the Chrome/Firefox scenario.

Code: Select all

Send, ^{vk43} ;Ctrl C
Sleep 50
Run, http://www.google.com/search?q=%clipboard%
Thanks!

The command below selects the address bar (Alt-D), copies URL to clipboard (Ctrl-C) and then runs Firefox with it:

Code: Select all

Send !d
Send ^c
Sleep 50
Run, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" %Clipboard%
