- Rated 4 out of 5by End User, 8 years agoDoes 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. - 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10353549, 8 years agoThis 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?

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.Developer response
posted 8 years agoThis addon is barely supported anymore. Once 51 gets released I'll try to fix it if it still doesn't work. - Rated 4 out of 5by Giovanni, 8 years agogreat add-on, easy and useful. but it lacks the support for redirecting to (file:///) URI on local machine.

posted 8 years agoThanks. The API I use for redirecting doesn't allow file:/// redirects, so that feature will probably never be in this extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5974346, 8 years agoUsed 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.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12521647, 8 years agoThe 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.Developer response
posted 8 years agoAre there any errors in the Browser Console? I'm using 3.1 on FF 48 without problems. - Rated 1 out of 5by wigga_whambo, 8 years agoWhen I go to create a new redirector, the Save button is greyed out. Should I use an older version that's compatible?
Developer response
posted 8 years agoIt's grayed out until all necessary fields have been filled out and the pattern matches the example url. - Rated 4 out of 5by SBSW.VMtOpMrz3O9wH9D4LfkVXe-BZtw.LKrCgyBULWCG1uhlB, 8 years agoIt does not work in the last days on Firefox 48 + Redirector 3.1.0.
Not saved settings redirects.
