Firefox isn’t supported because they don’t support AppleScript.

Workflow version:Latest Alfred version:4

Please always use exact full versions, for a proper diagnosis.

Thanks for the quick response.

It would be great in the read.me to include a list of supported browsers and maybe a note that firefox doesn’t support AppleScript so it won’t work. Tried it with Orion too and no luck.

Orion too doesn’t have good AppleScript support, though in their case it’s a “yet”, they’re working on it.

The workflow works in all major browsers and it’s known that Firefox doesn’t support AppleScript (the bug report for it has been open for over two decades). Listing every supported browser in every workflow would be repetitive and become outdated as browsers come and go, and it’s important to note the browsers themselves are where the support is lacking. As they add it, I’ll gladly support them too. I don’t collect any data, so issues like this help to inform which unsupported browsers people use, so I can properly prioritise.
