Firefox has no AppleScript support so there are limits to what you can do. However, I have used Firefox for years and very much like it. There are some things you can do using Alfred and Firefox and I thought it might be useful to others to list them here.
 
If you already have Firefox running and want to browse in a private window—but not provide in Firefox settings for Firefox exclusively to use a Firefox private window—you can link a hotkey (I use ⌥⌘V) to this AppleScript:
on run tell application "System Events" keystroke "w" using {shift down, command down} delay 1 keystroke "p" using {shift down, command down} end tell end run (I don't like GUI scripting because it's liable to break but that has worked for a number of years now).
 
However, I now take a slightly different approach. At the start of every day I launch Firefox in a private window with a hotkey using this AppleScript:
tell application "Firefox" --- Bring app to the front, starting it if necessary activate end tell -- wait a moment and then simulate Shift + Cmd + W delay 1 tell application "System Events" to keystroke "w" using {shift down, command down} -- Simulate Shift + Cmd + P tell application "System Events" to keystroke "p" using {shift down, command down}  
I then link that to a 2 second delay and then to a Call External Trigger action which calls a workflow that opens the websites to which I need to login. That workflow looks like this:
The websites are listed in the Arg & Vars utility—each on a new line—and then split to send to the shell script, which is as follows:
for var in "$@" do /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox --private-window "$var" done You'll see in the screen shot the point at which the external trigger, referred to above, links to this workflow.
 
That all sounds rather long-winded but the result is a series of websites very quickly opened in Firefox private windows as soon as Firefox is launched. (The latter workflow leaves one initial blank tab that needs to be closed but I simply do that manually.)
 
It is, of course, easy to create a workflow using a Universal Action limited to a single selected URL which enables you to open the selected link in a Firefox private window. Just link the Universal Action to this zsh shell script:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox --private-window $1  
Finally, you can alway search Google from Firefox using a DuckDuckGo bang: there is a workflow for that.
 
Warning: If you're using an older version of Firefox (possibly pre 121?) in the shell script code examples you'll need to change …/MacOS/firefox to …/MacOS/Firefox -bin.

Good idea, actually. I added that as opt-out feature: https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-read-later/releases/download/1.1.1/alfred-read-later.alfredworkflow

Usage

Convert dimensions via the conv keyword. Type a number to see all available units with their full name and symbol.



Type a unit to filter.



Pressing ↩ on a partial match triggers the autocomplete. See all possible conversion targets when matching a unit exactly.



Type further to filter for target units. Connector words (“to”, “as”, “in”) are optional to help with readability. Rounding precision and notation can be set in the Workflow’s Configuration.


↩: Copy result to clipboard. ⌘↩: Paste result to frontmost app. Configure the Hotkey or use the Universal Action as shortcuts to convert results from Alfred’s Calculator, Clipboard History, or selected text.

Thanks!
 
Unfortunately not.

Simple standalone read-later-app for Alfred. Saves the items in plaintext on your device.
 
Usage
- Use the keyword rl to add the current tab of the frontmost browser to your read-later-list.
- Any item in your reading list also shows up when using the keyword rl. Press ⏎ to open the item in your browser and remove it from your read-later-list.
 
Items are saved locally
The items are saved in a local markdown file on your disk. You can set the location in the workflow configuration. The items formatted in the markdown task syntax. Unread items as open tasks: - [ ] [title](url) Read items as completed tasks: - [x] [title](url) This has several advantages: No dependency on any read-later service. The reading list is available offline. Since Markdown is a widely supported format, you can access your items in many other apps as well, such as Obsidian. Easy backup: Just copypaste the file. Easy sync: Just save the file in a Cloud Drive like iCloud.

Hi folks, I built something today using Alfreds new Workflow Builder. Maybe you find it useful.
 
Why this Workflow?
I find myself frequently switching between audio output and input devices. Existing solutions either are slow, take to many interactions or need third-party tools.
Therefore, this workflow offers a couple of features to make switching audio devices easier and faster.
 
It also allows filtering out devices you do not want to see in the suggestions.

 
In order to make it even faster, the workflow provides Hotkeys and Remote Triggers for up to three input and up to three output devices and comes with its own Remote page.

 
The workflow is of course configurable. 😁

 
 
Some technical goodies:
This workflow does not need any third-party tools such as `SwitchAudioSource` or `jq`. It relies fully on Swift and ZSH, which should both be available in modern OS X Versions. Furthermore, as it does not contain binaries, code signing isn't an issue.
 
The code is on GitHub. The initial release (v1.0.1) is here https://github.com/TobiasMende/alfred-audio-switcher/releases/download/v1.0.1/alfred-audio-switcher.alfredworkflow  
Inspired by:
 
I am looking forward for your thoughts and feedback! 🙏

Updated to 2023.1.
New repository. New icons. New About. Add configurable keywords. use Dictionary Lookup. Rewritten in JXA. Remove OneUpdater in favour of Gallery updating.

Extract Keywords
Extract keywords and keyphrases from articles, books or any other document with YAKE!
 

 
 
Usage
Send PDF, docx, doc, rtf or txt documents to the workflow’s File Actions Pass the text from your selection in macOS on to the workflow’s Universal Action Use the keyword and paste your text (default: kw) 
The extracted keywords are presented in a dialog.

Dependencies
The workflow relies on Python3 to install the YAKE standalone.
YAKE!
pip install git+https://github.com/LIAAD/yake  official installation guide
pdftotext
brew install poppler  formula on brew.sh
Stopwords
 

Yake has internal stopword handling that cannot be influenced from the command line. However, you can still define a list of words that will be flat out purged from the input text. To set up a ‘purge word’-list, create a text file named as the language identifier for a corresponding language in the workflow root folder: assets/stopwords/de.txt.

The workflow checks if the file exists and if it does, the words are removed.

The purge-word files can be quickly accessed through Alfred by prefixing the keyword with a colon (default: :kw).



YAKE! is a light-weight unsupervised automatic keyword extraction method which rests on text statistical features extracted from single documents to select the most important keywords of a text.

Hey @Epitome, the issue was introduced with a dt3 update a while ago. Other than that, I've been using the workflow quite constantly myself without issues. 
I've just uploaded an updated version that should work for you, hopefully. Let me know how it works out for you!
 
Among numerous internal changes, some things are new, e.g.
Import Memory - Groups previously selected for importing are remembered (configurable) Document Filters (Globally and per Database. Accessible via dvn .) Today (files worked on today) Recently Modified Recently Added Due Soon Overdue If a document is locked, it is indicated using Apple's SF Symbols. These may need to be installed. Internal configuration via dvn :c  
V1.0.0 Release 🎉

This one quickly became one of my personal drivers, since it speeds up search so much. 
 
Relies on a few hacks, so I don't know whether it'd be something for the Alfred Gallery. But at the very least, I wanted to share it here.
 
Features
Inline Search Results, similar to Spotlight on iOS. Works without a keyword. Results are always shown alongside your other keywords. Multi-Selection of URLs to open. Global Search Hotkey: Search for terms, open URLs, write mails, etc. Add link to selected text: Turns selected text into a Markdown link.

Alfred's alphabet 🔤
A dictionary of your Alfred shortcuts
 
Download

Background
You can launch Alfred Workflows using single letters (either alone, or with a prefix, or as hotkeys with modifiers). Specifically:
1. single-letter keyword (e.g. m used for m query)
2. prefix + single letter keyword (e.g. k used with a prefix (!, -> !k) to search your Kindle library using alfred-kindle)
3. hotkey (a letter plus one or more of the modifier keys:
Shift (⇧) Control (^) Option (⌥) Command (⌘)     
Alfred's Alphabet    allows to review single-letter shortcuts in a single dictionary application, to check which letters are used, which are available, and which ones are conflicting with system-wide shortcuts. 
 
Browsing Alfred's Alphabet
- launch with keyword (default: aalpha), or custom hotkey
- scroll results or enter a single letter to filter. The first output is an overview with one circle per keyword/hotkey. 
- ⚪: unused prefix/hotkey modifier
- 🟠: prefix/hotkey modifier used for Alfred Workflow
- 🔴: used prefix/hotkey modifier, conflicting with one of the custom/system-wide shortcuts
- Circles are grouped in blocks as follows:
    1. no prefix (i.e. single-letter keyword)
    2. prefix block (if any): if any letter prefixes have been entered in Workflow configuration, they will be represented in this block (one circle per prefix)
    3. 1-key modifier keys in this order (block of 4): shift, control, option, command
    4. 2-key modifier keys: 
        - block of 3: sht-ctl, sht-opt, `sht-cmd
        - block of 2: ctl-opt, ctl-cmd
        - block of 1: opt-cmd
    5. 3-key modifier keys (block of 3): sht-ctl-opt, sht-ctl-cmd, ctl-opt-cmd,
    6. 4-key modifier (block of 1): sht-ctl-opt-cmd
- ctrl-enter ^↩️ will show the overview in large font
- enter ↩️ will list the workflows using that letter
- further pressing enter ↩️ will open the config page of the corresponding Workflow. 
 
Saving custom hotkeys
By entering :aalpha you can open a csv file with custom hotkeys. 
Enter your own, using for the modifier key one of the abbreviations listed above. 
A few examples are listed as demo in the default file.

Define Word
 
I wanted a slightly better dictionary for lookups. In particular, I wanted well formatted previews of the entries without having to open the Dictionary app.
You can choose from all available dictionaries that are installed on your system, define the fallback dictionaries for your lookups, set the font size of the previews, or manually select a dictionary to use. The previews reflect the global appearance, i.e. they have a dark mode! The workflow also includes a preset for looking up synonyms of a word and a convenient keyboard shortcut for quick lookups.

‣Download from Github ◂
 
Usage Note

Specify the dictionaries you want to use (see Dictionary Options below). Define a fallback dictionary against which possible misspellings will be checked.
The workflow can be used as a multilingual spell checker.

Default keyword: def
Default shortcut:  ⌥+⇧+D 
Keyword sd: Select a specific dictionary for lookups
Keyword synd: Find synonyms by consulting the thesauri only (english)
Cache reset: def ?

Modifiers
 ⇧  or  ⌘Y  to preview the dictionary entry  ⌃  to see the dictionary associated with the entry  ⌘C  to copy the dictionary entry’s plain text to the clipboard  ⌘⏎  to paste a word to the frontmost application (spell checker)  ⌘L  to view the plain text as large type
