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:

  1. Download the repository: 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 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

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.
