    It works and removes reference crap from links making them clean. Thanks for that!

    Works nicely on Firefox Desktop, but it seems to have issues in Fennec Nightly — I had tried it before, and it plain and simply didn't work; but I just reinstalled it (after some time of disuse) and while it cleans the first link (with utm tracking parameters) it fails to clean the Amazon.com link. Weird. Again, it works fine on Desktop Stable, but at least on Fennec Nightly your mileage might vary. I cannot test on Fennec Stable/Beta/Aurora, so... Keep it in mind.

    Should be fixed once the new version passes review, thanks to andreicristianpetcu on github. Please tell me if it's still an issue for version 1.3

    Good idea to stop tracking.

    Running the addon with the release version of firefox, both example links are 'cleaned' as indicated. However, when installing the addon under Nightly, only the first link is cleaned, the Amazon link remains the same.

    For what it's worth, this seems to be the case for other similar addons.

    Thanks for noticing (I don't use nightly daily, so I didn't see that it wasn't working there).

    You can thank https://github.com/andreicristianpetcu who provided a fix, it should be fixed when the new version hits addons.mozilla.org.

    I was always annoyed by the cruft in URLs when I had to share them to someone. Had to remove it manually EVERY time.

    This add-on saves time: just install it and enjoy clean URLs :-)
