Shellfox
Shellfox is a simple add-on for Firefox that allows you to run shell commands at the click of a button.
Installation
Shellfox has two components: A Firefox extension, and a native script that the extension uses to run commands.
You can install the Firefox extension from Firefox Add-ons (AMO).
The native script has only been tested on GNU/Linux, though it is likely to work on BSDs, and potentially macOS. It can be installed like so:
- Download the repository: master.zip
- Extract the ZIP-archive; this will make a folder called
shellfox/. - Open a terminal within that
shellfox/folder. - Run the command:
$ sudo make native-install - Make sure you have the Firefox extension installed.
- Profit! ^_^
From terminal
To install the native script solely from a terminal:
$ curl https://hak.xwx.moe/jadedctrl/shellfox/archive/master.tar.gz | tar -xzv
$ cd shellfox/
$ sudo make native-install
Related projects
This add-on was inspired by Textern, which allows you to edit text-boxes with an external editor like Emacs. It’s very useful, I highly recommend it!
If you like mixing web-browsing with shell, then you’ll probably also like TabFS, a FUSE filesystem that exposes your browser tabs as files.
