Keyboard shortcut to open Firefox window

[rutja76]

Hi!

Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut in Thunderbird that opens a Firefox window? Something that behave like in SeaMonkey with ctrl+n.

Do you want to open a new Firefox window like when you run the firefox.exe executable in the Command Prompt window?

Code: Select all

var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIFile);
file.initWithPath("C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
file.launch();

The path may be different for other versions of Windows.

Admittedly I'm still running an older version on my desktop (see signature) but ctrl+n opens a new FFox window and ctrl+t opens a new FFox tab for me.

Edit: Sorry, that's from within FFox. Didn't catch that you wanted to do this from within TBird.

Yes, exactly, and that made the trick, thanks!

So Keyconfig must be installed, there's no way to have that work without the add-on, right?

You can't open a new Firefox window with a standard keyboard shortcut.
