9 jierren lyn pleatstYeah, sorry about that. Debug feature that got left in. Will remove in next version.- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch MS-DOS, 9 jierren lynWorks fine, but doesn't redirect some links at all until the page loaded from that not-redirected link is manually refreshed.

9 jierren lyn pleatstI'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. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Jacob Mischka, 9 jierren lynNot 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!Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstThanks, 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. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Mackun, 9 jierren lynEasy to configure, also able to export configurations
And it's already compatible with firefox 57+ since last year
What else would you want? - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch bugfix2, 9 jierren lynI'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.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstNormally 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. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch hexalm, 9 jierren lynJust 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. :)

9 jierren lyn pleatstGlad 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. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch ffuser, 9 jierren lynIt 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.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstThe code is at https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector , pull requests are welcome :) - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 13008144, 9 jierren lynI could redirect youtube's URL from default to /embed/videoid for automatic full page display
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch cloudccc, 9 jierren lyni want to import rules from online. can you add this feature?
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstI'm not really adding new features to this addon anymore, it's just in maintenance mode. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch deviant2, 9 jierren lynwhen :
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 - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 12793683, 9 jierren lynThis works well on Firefox but what about androids and Iphones
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstI just haven't tested it. I should probably mark it as not supported there until I can do that. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch chris p, 9 jierren lynNo 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.
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstYou're right, I should probably remove the "Compatible with Firefox Android" thing. I just thought that WebExtensions addons should work anywhere. - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Artem S. Tashkinov, 9 jierren lynWhy 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)Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstExample Url is required because it forces people to test their redirects before sending me emails complaining about something not working. It seriously reduces my email a lot :)
I have no plans to add any more features to this addon, or do any major changes to it. It's basically just in maintenance mode now. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch End User, 9 jierren lynDoes 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. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Charles Kong, 9 jierren lynI'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".)
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 12616240, 9 jierren lynNot much to say about this, other than it works, and works well. Seems to be exactly as powerful as it needs to be.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 10353549, 9 jierren lynThis was a great addon but it doesn't work on Firefox Developer Edition 51.0a2. Although Developer Edition may not officially be supported but does anyone know a solution for this?
Updated on Nov 8:
Hi Einar, thank you for your reply and I'm sorry that the above behavior may have been because of my configuration issue. This addon works fine on Firefox Developer Edition 51.0a2.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstThis addon is barely supported anymore. Once 51 gets released I'll try to fix it if it still doesn't work. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Giovanni, 9 jierren lyngreat add-on, easy and useful. but it lacks the support for redirecting to (file:///) URI on local machine.
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 jierren lyn pleatstThanks. The API I use for redirecting doesn't allow file:/// redirects, so that feature will probably never be in this extension. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 5974346, 10 jierren lynUsed it to force firefox to use port 8080 instead of 80 for a specific site. At first it seemed to work alright, but then I saw that when submitting form data it doesn't perform the redirect.
- Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 12521647, 10 jierren lynThe latest version available when updating is 3.1.0 (updated on August 5 2016), which isn't working with FF 48.0 (redirection rules aren't saved).
Update:
Found out what's causing the problem. The addon "RequestPolicy Continued 1.0beta12.3" prevents Redirector 3.1.0 from working properly.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
10 jierren lyn pleatstAre there any errors in the Browser Console? I'm using 3.1 on FF 48 without problems.
