Sounds like you might be using “Current Website”, which is a way to search the 
current site for something. You want “Current Web Page”.

Thank you men.  I've got this down now BUT when I invoke it, instead of 
being taken to the expected page, the url is *always* prefaced with:

What's that all about?  Any ideas please?

It's a proxy object, it's called Current Web Page.  I don't know if it still 
works.

Re: Open a browser page with non-default browser

[Timmy]

Looking at Howard's method, why can't I see 'Safari Current web page' 
anywhere to be able to get it into the top slot of a new Trigger?  Any 
clues would be much appreciated.  Or am I losing the plot on how to create 
a trigger?

Re: Open a browser page with non-default browser

[metropical]

Rob & Howard,  I changed the trigger for the NYT in general 
(Cmd/Cntl/opt/shift/N aka capslock), which opens with my default browser, 
Firefox.

Action - Open URL with
Target - Safari
badda bing badda boom!

Re: Open a browser page with non-default browser

[Howard Melman]

It's been a while, but could you create a trigger for:

Safari Current Web Page, Open URL With..., Firefox

This way, for any page that safari doesn't render, you could hit the key to 
have that url open in Firefox.  It wouldn't be automatic for NYT urls, but it's 
only one hotkey and it would work for any such problematic page.

Either of these methods are no faster than doing "manually". Darn the Luck

I think this may be a candidate for a script.  Now to learn how to script.

Firefox is my default.

Is there a way to open NY Times webpage with Safari with QS?


If the URL is selected in QS, you can use the “Open URL With…” 
action.


If you’re talking about having the system automatically do this every 
time, you’ll want something like [Browser 
Fairy](https://www.browserfairy.com/).
