Q: Automator Service to open URL in Firefox

I'm trying to make a service on OS X Yosemite that will allow me to click on the URL at the top in Safari, then open it in Firefox. Saving my having to copy, open up Firefox and then paste it in. I've found a screenshot of something similar to what I'm trying to get, only in there it say 'Open URL in Opera' not Firefox. Can anybody help?

    Hello

     

    You may create an Automator service as follows:

     

    0) Service receives selected [URLs] in [any application]

     

    1) Run Shell Script action

        - Shell = /bin/bash

        - Pass input = as arguments

        = Code = as follows

     

    #!/bin/bash

open -b org.mozilla.firefox "$@"

     

     

    Workflow will look something like this.

    Tested under 10.6.8.

     

    Hope this may help,
