ViewWith

ViewWith is a simple Windows program that takes a URL as input and provides a list of programs to open that URL. You can quickly choose the one you want to use, press Enter, and that program is spawned with that URL as its command line input.

This program is intended to be used in conjunction with the FireFox extension IE View WE at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-view-we/?src=search. By setting the "IE Location" in the Options dialog to ViewWith, you can right click on any link and then choose what program you want to open the extension. This provides a way to get streaming videos as well as open a web page in various browsers.
