Can Firefox Open a Link in a Different Browser Like Internet Explorer?

Can You Navigate to a Specified Browser from Firefox?

In an attempt to integrate a softphone into a Firefox-designed website, a user encounters compatibility issues as the softphone utilizes ActiveX, which is incompatible with Firefox. While Internet Explorer 9 renders the page unacceptably due to CSS3 disparities, the user seeks a solution to force Firefox to open a specific page in a different browser (Internet Explorer) exclusively for the softphone.

Solution:

Yes, a specific browser can be forced to open a link from Firefox by using the microsoft-edge: prefix before the URL in the HREF attribute of an HTML anchor element. This prefix will cause the link to open in Microsoft Edge, regardless of the browser the user is currently using.

Example Code:

<a href="microsoft-edge:http://www.google.com">EDGE (works)</a>

This code will create a hyperlink that opens the Google homepage in Microsoft Edge when clicked, even if the user is accessing the page in Firefox.
