Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. It is a wonderful idea to define a regex for the hostname.

However, there are few concerns such as the actions to be shown in the popup when a regex matches the url

Can you send a pull request so that we can discuss more about it there?

Thanks

    Thank you very much.
    Simple and easy to use, works on android.

    Remember to go to the extension settings humans.

    it does work, you have to turn it on for a website for it to work (which i like because some websites have a weird thing where you have to open the link on the page and its like a popup)

    Great idea but it seems to be expired 5 years ago (last updated). As it said before - NOT WORKING.

    2017 review: Works pretty well, except it seems for "stuff.co.nz" where it tends to open links in same tab most of the time, but sometimes does open in a new tab. Confused? So am I! Maybe a Firefox bug involved?
    Above is still the case in December 2021 [& Dec22] ... has this Add-on been abandoned by Ramkumar K R?

    Ramkumar K R, this add-on is abandoned? on YouTube comments when you click on View Replies it opens a blank page and more comments are not shown. Can you fix it?

    So far so good. Works as expected. Thank you.

    This app "works only when it wants to" is the only way to describe my experience. Firefox 69.0.1 6 bit. It's very disappointing to search duckduckgo and have the link open in the same tab unless I go back and select the link again. This is a waste of time. I'm looking for an app that will work every time and will allow options on how tabs should open. BOTTOM LINE: This app isn't as advertised.

    Works pretty well exept on some Mozilla pages, author could explain how to use the extension a little better. Would get higher ratings if (s)he did so.

    Just started testing, seems to work as described.

    Doesn't work with Firefox 63.0.3. New tabs still opened on the far right side.

    Didn't work, even when I moved the button for the specified site. Just tooo fiddly. Seems a no-brainer to me that all bookmarks should open in a new tab as standard. Who wants to leave a site you're on to look at another site, maybe for reference. Firefox note. Now I've learned to right click, job done.
