Firefox Assistant for Alfred

============================

Search and manipulate Firefox's bookmarks, history and tabs from Alfred.

![Animated demo of workflow in use][demo]

The workflow can be easily [extended with your own actions][scripts].

Installation

------------

The workflow supports Alfred 4+ and the extension works with (at least) Firefox, Firefox Nightly and Firefox Developer Edition.

1. Download and install the [latest version of the workflow][workflow].

2. Run `ffass` in Alfred and choose `Install Firefox Extension` to get [the Firefox extension][addon].

See [the setup documentation][setup] for more details.

Usage

-----

The basic usage is:

- `bm ` — Search bookmarks

- `bml ` — Search bookmarklets

- `hist ` — Search history

- `dl []` — Search downloads

- `tab []` — Search tabs

- `ffass []` — Workflow status and links

See [the usage documentation][usage] for full details.

Integration

-----------

The workflow can be used by other workflows to retrieve the title and URL of the active Firefox tab (in lieu of AppleScript, which Firefox doesn't support). See [the integration docs][integration] for details.

Documentation

-------------

See [the full documentation][docs] for detailed info on setting up, using and customising the workflow.
