- Rated 5 out of 5by psychonaut25, 7 years agoThis add-on isn't compatible with Pale Moon Browser, which does not support WebExtensions. I would really love to use this add-on, but unless Pale Moon compatibility is added, I can't use it. If Pale Moon compatibility is ever added, I will change my review to five stars.
Edit: The developer very kindly helped me find an older version that works, and it's an excellent extension! Does exactly what it says it does and it's fairly versatile with its capabilities. Definitely earns the 5 stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13551374, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by joecell, 7 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, 7 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, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by CMTSIJ, 7 years agoI use it to redirect https://www.facebook.com/ to https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr.
Everything works perfect.
Thank you. - Rated 5 out of 5by MS-DOS, 7 years agoWorks fine, but doesn't redirect some links at all until the page loaded from that not-redirected link is manually refreshed.

posted 7 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, 7 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 7 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, 7 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, 7 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 7 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 5 out of 5by ffuser, 7 years agoIt 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.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by cloudccc, 7 years agoi want to import rules from online. can you add this feature?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoI'm not really adding new features to this addon anymore, it's just in maintenance mode. - Rated 5 out of 5by Charles Kong, 8 years agoI'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".)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12616240, 8 years agoNot much to say about this, other than it works, and works well. Seems to be exactly as powerful as it needs to be.
