My main browser is Firefox, but in this particular case, I prefer eww because of the incremental search/swiper (the page is a poorly formatted documentation for certain library). Opening the bookmark in firefox would completely defeat the purpose of having it at all. It's not the question whether I like eww or not (in fact, I don't). The thing is that I want to view some pages in firefox and others in eww. Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl
