      Overview

      Configuration Example

      // addfox.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  browserPath: {
    chrome: "/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome",
    edge: "/Applications/Microsoft Edge.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Edge",
  },
});

      Launch via CLI

      pnpm
      npm
      yarn
      bun
      pnpm dev -- -b chrome
pnpm dev -- -b edge
pnpm dev -- -b brave

      Firefox

      Firefox uses the web-ext tool to manage extensions. The path configuration is the same:

      export default defineConfig({
  browserPath: {
    firefox: "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox",
  },
});

      Launch Firefox

      pnpm
      npm
      yarn
      bun
      pnpm dev -- -b firefox
      Info

      Firefox development mode uses the web-ext tool. Extension reload is handled by web-ext, not Addfox's WebSocket.
