Firefox is about 2x as popular as Safari though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#W3Counter_(May_2007_to_September_2018). It seems to me that usage is no longer a valid reason.
 
And that "<5%" of Firefox users still paid the same price for their copy of Alfred as everyone else. Perhaps you should offer a discount for Firefox users seeing as they're forced to go without such useful functionality.

> If it's as straightforward as you claim, then why don't you write a workflow that does work?

Because I bought and paid for software that not only does it for 2 other browsers - one of which is less popular than the browser in question - and which takes feature requests from its customers. As the saying goes, "You don't get a dog and then bark yourself".
 
Also, I'm far from the only customer you have who wants this feature.
 
> I'm sure other Firefox users would be very grateful.

I'm sure they would indeed. But they didn't buy my software to help support me with its future development - they bought yours.

The bookmarks feature is a complimentary (free) feature in Alfred, and it's not even mentioned on Alfred's homepage or the Powerpack page.
 
We are very careful when picking features to include in Alfred's core (instead of an extension in the form of a Workflow), there is significantly more time consuming research and due diligence than we ever talk about publicly.
 
A few reasons Firefox hasn't been brought into Alfred's core are:
 
1. The low number of Firefox users (actually less than the 5% dean quotes) who use Alfred.
2. No public API for Firefox bookmarks, meaning a hacky approach would be required. This inevitably leads to increased maintenance effort to keep the feature working.
3. Firefox has complete overhauls every so often, rebranding, and re-launching. Alfred can't support this kind of nuance.
 
This is not to say that Alfred will never natively support Firefox, but at this point in time, it's not a good fit for Alfred's core... Especially when there are a number of workflows which can satisfy this feature.

Please - add Firefox to web bookmark search options, alongside Safari and Chrome. Support users of open-code apps? This is such a useful function, lightning fast browser access. Thanks
