If are using Firefox beside Google Chrome, this “Open in Google Chrome” lets you send web sites and links directly to Google Chrome from Firefox. It can also be configured to always open certain web pages in Chrome - e.g. *google*, gmail, etc.

Install “Open in Google Chrome” for Firefox 3

In WindowsXP, Google Chrome installs under \Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\

In WindowsVista, Google Chrome installs in \Users\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\

Open Website directly in Chrome from FireFox

The Google Chrome Firefox extension can also be configured to open a group of website(s) directly in Chrome even if you try accessing them from Firefox.

For instance, you may add “yahoo” to the list and any site that has yahoo in the URL would open in Chrome automatically. That includes “maps.yahoo.com”, “news.yahoo.com”, “yahoo.com” and even “bbc.com/news/yahoo-shares.html” so be careful while picking these wildcards.
