#  Shellfox
|
||
|
||
[Shellfox](https://hak.xwx.moe/jadedctrl/shellfox) is a simple add-on for [Firefox](https://firefox.com) 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)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shellfox).
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
1. Download the repository: [master.zip](https://hak.xwx.moe/jadedctrl/shellfox/archive/master.zip)
|
||
2. Extract the ZIP-archive; this will make a folder called `shellfox/`.
|
||
3. Open a terminal within that `shellfox/` folder.
|
||
4. Run the command: `$ sudo make native-install`
|
||
5. Make sure you have [the Firefox extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shellfox) installed.
|
||
6. 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](https://github.com/jlebon/textern/), which allows you to edit text-boxes
|
||
with an external editor like [Emacs](https://gnu.org/software/emacs). It’s very useful, I highly recommend it!
|
||
|
||
If you like mixing web-browsing with shell, then you’ll probably also like
|
||
[TabFS](https://omar.website/tabfs/), a FUSE filesystem that exposes your browser tabs as files.
