Does anyone know an equivalent for UrlRun that will work with Kmeleon?
Does it work with Firefox? I used to use it with Internet Explorer.
Here is a description of UrlRun:

UrlRun

To deal w/ the number of wrapped URLs I get in my email box, I built
UrlRun. It checks the clipboard for an URL, no matter how broken,
strips spaces, newlines and greater thans out of it and runs IE. To
handle an URL as show above, select it, copy it to the clipboard and
launch UrlRun.exe. I keep it on my QuickStart toolbar.

UrlRun was nicer in a sense, because it wouldn't run in the background.
Also, it automatically launched Internet Explorer (or the default
browser, though I have kmeleon as default). Could someone try UrlRun
with their non-IE default browser? If it doesn't work, I will email
the author a request to support non-microsoft browsers.

Just tried urlrun after temporarily swapping default browser from IE to
Firefox it opened the link in Firefox. Maybe a problem with your
K-meleon default browser setting???

If it's any help, something similar to URLrun could be done with a very
simple hta script...

This reads the clipboard, removes '>', whitespace, newline and carriage return
characters and any characters before the www. http: or whatever.
And will run the browser specified in the browser variable; %URL%
will be replaced.

Save with a .hta extension - requires Mshta.exe (installed with IE)
and a reasonably up to date windows scripting host.

No IE here, so hta is not a registered file type. Moving to Firefox.
Thanks!
