Open in VLC™ is a Firefox addon that enables you to open desired link(s) in VLC (VideoLAN) application. VLC is a free and open-source media player that can play almost any types of media file (audio or video).

To operate with this addon you need a native-client patch to connect your browser with native VLC application in your OS.
