It works, but it doesn't rewrite link urls. You either have to open them in a new tab, or copy and paste the url into the address bar. At least that's how it worked on the broken website I was trying to fix.

I see my issue is discussed below. Added two stars...

I use it to redirect https://www.facebook.com/ to https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr.
Everything works perfect.
Thank you.

Does everything I hoped for and more :) Thank you so much!

add auto redirect after load failed

I was able to remove 2 other addons thanks to this.

Spamming browser console.

Works fine, but doesn't redirect some links at all until the page loaded from that not-redirected link is manually refreshed.

Not sure why it seems like so many people are complaining.

Would be great if there were a way to automatically sync the configurations between firefox installs, but import/export works fine.

Thanks!

Easy to configure, also able to export configurations
And it's already compatible with firefox 57+ since last year
What else would you want?

Test

I've planned to use this add-on as privacy tool, for discarding tracking tokens (like google "utm_source") from URL and bypassing "away scripts" (that counts what external URL user clicked).

Unfortunately, this add-on first visits unmodified address, and only if original page loaded, redirects to another page).

Thus, it's useless for privacy purpose.

P.S. Updated FF to 55.0.3, issue is gone.

Not actually compatible with FF Android.

Simple, very useful add-on.

Just installed, love the regex option, makes it easy to define rules (once you've tackled learning regex - try regexr.com to test and learn, helped me tons). Will update after some actual use. :)

It works great! If you could just add support for firefox android, that would make it perfect. Currently I can't find any way to enter rules on Android. Thanks :)

Or make the code open source, so others can do it. I can't access the code provided in the link. It says access denied.

I could redirect youtube's URL from default to /embed/videoid for automatic full page display

i want to import rules from online. can you add this feature?

when :
rightclick -> save link as
the URL/address still like that ...

andOR something like : redirector -> then send to download manager
i do really need this ... so i use : rightclick -> save link as
but it doesnt worked ...

its only worked when :
rightclick -> open new tab/window

This works well on Firefox but what about androids and Iphones

No way to interface with the add-on. No menu, no button. Compatible with ff android? Yea right! Same story with %90 of them on AMO. Show up as compatible when it is not.

Why does this add-on require an example for each URL? Makes no sense to me.

Also I would love to import and export to CSV files because generating JSON out of my own rules is a Herculian task.

Also, please, change the view to table or something like that:

COLUMN 1: Name (optional)
COLUMN 2: Rule
COLUMN 3: Replace
COLUMN 4: Extra options
COLUMN 5: Checkbox (enabled)

Does not work correctly with nested brackets.
For example, if you want to eradicate youtube playlists, you'd better locate &list parameter and rebuild the URL without it.
Rather than identifying all parameters for careful string composition.
E.g.
(https?://)?(www\.)?youtube\.com/(watch\?)?((&?v=[^&]*)|(([&#]t=([\d]*h)?)([\d]*m)?([\d]*s?))|(&?index=[\d]*)|(&?list=[^&]*))*
has nested parentheses which are not parsed correctly by this extension.
I'd propose to use
(https?://)(www\.)youtube.com/watch\?(.*)(&?list=[^&]*)(.*)
with this replacement
$1$2youtube.com/watch?$3$5
This way parameter &index= will remain, but won't have any effect.
And the result will be removal of &list parameter which I am talking about.

I'm running this with FF v50 32-bit. Works great! I use it so 2 more URLs end up at 1 to eliminate duplicate entries in LastPass. (For example, http://10.1.2.3->http://realhost and http://alias->http://realhost. Then, save only a login entry for "realhost".)

Not much to say about this, other than it works, and works well. Seems to be exactly as powerful as it needs to be.
