To use the Firefox browser for client-to-agent URL content redirection from a Linux client, you must install and enable the VMware Horizon URL Redirection Extension for Firefox.
You can use the Firefox Add-ons Manager to find the installer for the VMware Horizon URL Redirection Extension.
Prerequisites
- Install the Firefox browser on the Linux client system. For the supported browser versions, see System Requirements for URL Content Redirection.
- Install Horizon Client for Linux on the Linux client system. For instructions, see the VMware Horizon Client for Linux Installation and Setup Guide document.
- Configure URL Content Redirection settings on the Connection Server instance. See Configuring Client-to-Agent Redirection.
Procedure
What to do next
The first time a URL is redirected from the Firefox browser on the Linux client, the user is prompted to open the URL in Horizon Client. The user must specify Horizon Client as the application for opening the URL and click Open link, or URL redirection does not occur. If the user selects the option to remember this choice and always allow links to be opened with Horizon Client (recommended), this prompt does not appear again.
