Is it possible to specify to change browser from Firefox to Firefox Nightly

[nikitavoloboev]

I setup the workflow and it runs well. Only issue that on activation it does nothing as I don't have Firefox installed but instead use Firefox Nightly.

I couldn't find in settings if it's possible to change the app. I think it would be a nice feature as not everyone uses default Firefox.

Thank you.

Did you install the extension in Firefox Nightly?

[nikitavoloboev]

I have

Then it should work. Check the logs.

Say I don't have Firefox which I don't. I was thinking it would be nice to allow changing the application that gets called to a custom one like Firefox Nightly.

[deanishe]

So what you mean is "the activate tab function doesn't work on Firefox Nightly"?

[nikitavoloboev]

Yes. Sorry, could of been more clearer initially.

[deanishe]

I'll think about making it possible to specify beta or developer edition. There are a few places where the workflow does explicitly call Firefox and not just the extension.

But generally, I'm not a fan of supporting beta software, and the workflow/extension will not work with multiple Firefoxes running at the same time.
