- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13528321, 8 years agoDid this break in 57? I'm trying to create a rule for redirecting amazon.com to smile.amazon.com but I can't get it to work. I've had rules work in the past for http -> https which aren't working anymore either.

- Rated 5 out of 5by joecell, 8 years agoI used this extension to automatically redirect classroom.google.com to classroom.google.com/u/2/h/ which is my school gmail account. Until now I had to laboriously either type in the correct URL, or use Google's menu. This method is a lot simpler and efficient.

- Rated 5 out of 5by IAO, 8 years agoWorks every time. Saves a lot of my time and effort. Thanks for offering this powerful and handy tool.
No need to block site anymore, just forward it! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12343667, 8 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Llewen, 8 years agoIt 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... - Rated 5 out of 5by CMTSIJ, 8 years agoI use it to redirect https://www.facebook.com/ to https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr.
Everything works perfect.
Thank you. Developer response
posted 8 years agoYeah, sorry about that. Debug feature that got left in. Will remove in next version.- Rated 5 out of 5by MS-DOS, 8 years agoWorks fine, but doesn't redirect some links at all until the page loaded from that not-redirected link is manually refreshed.

posted 8 years agoI'm kind of at the mercy of the webRequest API that Firefox provides there. I redirect every request they pass to me, but don't really know why they wouldn't pass the requests you're mentioning to the extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jacob Mischka, 8 years agoNot 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!Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks, I'm glad you like the extension. Sync would be cool, but I'm not really working much on this anymore. Would welcome contributions from others though. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mackun, 8 years agoEasy to configure, also able to export configurations
And it's already compatible with firefox 57+ since last year
What else would you want? - Rated 5 out of 5by bugfix2, 8 years agoI'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.Developer response
posted 8 years agoNormally it doesn't send a request to the original address. However, since FF 52 there' this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345893 which always sends a request to the original url first. It's fixed and should be released in Firefox 55 apparently. - Rated 4 out of 5by hexalm, 8 years agoJust 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. :)

posted 8 years agoGlad you like it. I'll try to support Android better some day when I have an Android device. Also, pull requests are welcome if someone else wants to implement it.
