As mentioned previously – I’ve gone flashless. Firefox 4 makes it quite hard to do that. It has an annoying missing plugin nag-bar (another dick-bar). Well, we can get rid of that:

1. Enter about:config in the URL bar
2. Heed the warning then press the button if you want to continue
3. Type ‘missing’ in the search bar within the “page”
4. Set plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin to true
5. Close the tab

Right, that’s that done. Now what about open in Chrome? Well using a slightly modified AppleScript:

set oldClipboard to the clipboard

tell application "Firefox" to activate

tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "l" using {command down}
    keystroke "c" using {command down}
end tell

delay 0.5

tell application "Google Chrome"
    set URL of active tab of window 1 to the clipboard
    activate
end tell

set the clipboard to oldClipboard

Yes it sucks a bit that I had to bounce via the clipboard. Bit of a quick fix, but it does work. I’m definitely open to a better script. Also, Mozilla – please please fix it for me what when I open Firefox after changing my monitor configuration, it doesn’t screw up the window.
