There are times where i'm on Safari and I would like to launch the same website on Firefox, for a number of reasons that i won't get into.

My question to all…is there a plugin of sorts that would add a button to my Safari to launch that site in Firefox.

In writing this, maybe even a simple AppleScript could do the trick.
Any suggestions?
 
Here is a partial solution. Under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard & Mouse system preference, you can set up an app shortcut as follows:

There is one quirk: the first time you use this after starting Safari, you would have to use the mouse instead of the shortcut, because the entries are not filled into the menu until needed. The second and subsequent times, the shortcut should work (until you launch Safari again).
