- Rated 5 out of 5by Mark, 7 years agoI'm not sure if it's working or not. Whenever I search addons.mozilla and I find an addon I might be interested in I click on the link and open it in a new tab. The URL in the address bar says, "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/neat-url/?src=search". If I wanted to bookmark this addon I'd have to go up and select the "?src=search" and delete that part of it and reload the tab to get a clean URL.
After I installed your addon I thought it would remove the "?src=search" part of it, but it didn't. So I opened your addons options and I entered "?src=" (without the quotes) then saved the preferences. I even put a comma and space before it to separate it from all your other entries. Anyhow that didn't work. Then I tried entering, "?src=search" (again without the quotes) and that didn't work; neither did "?src=*".
Why won't your addon remove the "?src=search" part of the URL? What am I doing wrong, can you help?
EDIT: Thank you Geoffrey De Belie, using just "src" (without the quotes) worked perfectly. I adjusted my rating.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi. You need to use "src" or "src@addons.mozila.org" to make it work, omitting the question mark and the double quotes. Please let me know if that fixes it for you, thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Grey-Black-White, 7 years agoI have been using this for some time and have encountered no problems. It gives me a peace of mind in terms of online privacy and security.

Thanks a lot for this extension.
In a previous answer, you wrote: "That's why there exist other addons that do exactly that. I believe Neat URL should do one thing well, which is "cleaning URLs". Skipping redirects or retrieving long URLs from short ones will not be in the feature scope of Neat URL."
=> Could you name those extensions, so that I can have a look on them? Thanks again... And keep up the good work! - Rated 5 out of 5by Dhariuz T, 7 years agoFunciona adecuadamente, recomendable para quien le guste la simplicidad

- Rated 5 out of 5by Eric Oden, 7 years agoIf you are concerned about privacy you need this addon. Works great and is super easy to configure.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12889199, 7 years agoI'm interested to know if I need both this and Google search link fix or if this one can replace it. Thanks :)

posted 7 years agoThank you for the review. You need both since Neat URL doesn't handle redirects.
