Resolved Automator Run Shell Script, application name

[MacScape]

Henlo,

Some time ago I found this Automator service/script on the Internet (see attachment). It works perfectly; I added this workflow in my Services folder and if I hover on a link I can right click, click on the service and the website will open in Firefox.

Question is: how can I change this to Microsoft Edge? I'm really a noob in Automator/Terminal. I'm sure I need to change [open -b org.mozilla.firefox "$@"] to Microsoft Edge, but what is the Terminal(?) name of this application? Where can I find this? Or better, what should this line be?

Hope you can help :-( Thanks.

You can get the bundle identifier of a running process via System Events.
Example :

tell application "System Events"
    bundle identifier of process "Microsoft Edge"
end tell

or you can change open -b to open -a and use the application specified.
Example :

open -a "Microsoft Edge"
open -a "/Applications/Microsoft Edge.app"

Note: I don't use Microsoft Edge so I'm guessing the name of it as it appears in the Applications folder.

Aha, it's called 'bundle identifier'! Didn't know this. The bundle identifier of Microsoft Edge is apparently com.microsoft.edgemac (found it via an other way/Google. Show Package Content > Info.plist > CFBundleIdentifier). I changed the script to: open -b com.microsoft.edgemac "$@" and it works!

Your post led me to the solution and I'm really happy. Thank you!!

FYI I use Microsoft Edge as my 3rd browser to open unknown, unreliable websites or Facebook, social media pages, etc. Some kind of 'sandboxing'.
