- Rated 5 out of 5by quantum_stieve, 4 years agoAs a dev, this add-on is fantastic. I feel like I save a bunch of time and it feels like such a natural extension I really wish it were part of firefox's core functionality. Bravo to the maintainer. I'd buy you a coffee if I could.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12332577, 6 years agoIs there any way I can open an aliased page in a new tab?
I am a big fan of URLalias. So I can't help loving WEAlias.Developer response
posted 6 years agoYes, you can. When you declare the alias, start the url with an underscore, for example: 'gm _https://mail.google.com'. This way when you input 'gm' a new tab will open with gmail. Con: if you declare the alias this way always will open on a new tab, and maybe you don't want that. I am looking for a way to do it "on the go" (for instance and following the former example, 'gm' open on the same tab, '_gm' open on a new tab) but right now I have no time to develop it.
Thank you for your review. Developer response
posted 6 years agoI have Win10 64bits and FF 66.0.3 installed and the extension works flawlessly. Could you provide a little more information? Your OS, behaviour of the extension, etc.
Thank you- Rated 5 out of 5by Siddharth Kannan, 6 years agoI have been using this for about 2 days on my work computer and I absolutely love it! I use auto-jump on my terminal, so I would have loved it if the keyword was configurable. Anyway, it is not so I cloned this extension and will start using my clone instead.
I do wish the author had put the code up on GitHub! (I went inside the extensions directory and downloaded the code and edited it) Great extension! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14278724, 7 years agoEasy configuration, excellent usability and a nice icon to boot!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14025286, 7 years agoI have been using addons WEAlias and "New Tab from Location Bar". So typing "a gm" in the location bar would open my gmail in a new tab. Now with the Firefox update the addon "New Tab from Location Bar" isnt needed anymore but using `browser.urlbar.openintab` = `true` doensnt open a new tab when using WEAlias.
Is this something you could fix in WEAlias or is this just another feature of Firefox?Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease, send me an email with a little more information such as firefox version, S.O. and I'll try to check it as soon as I can. Thanks.
EDIT: New version with this feature. Take a look and tell me what you think. - Rated 4 out of 5by Davin, 7 years agoIt works almost smoothly. But could we just type in URL bar instead of have to click the icon? If it's not possible due to Firefox restriction, could we have a customizable shortcut? Thank you for a nice extension.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThank you for your review. You can type on the URL bar, but you have to precede your text with an 'a' (webextension api requirement), i.e. 'a g text_to_search_in_google'.
Also, there are two hotkeys defined if you don't want to click the icon:
Alt+q: open the input box (same effect if you press the icon)
Alt+w: open a new tab with the input box.
For more info check the 'About this extension' box on this web. - Rated 4 out of 5by mcaleck, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by F-3000, 7 years agoReplaces URL Alias as best as one can. Very simple and easy to use. Dev is friendly, supportive and receptive. Going to keep using this one.
For a note: as mentioned in addon description, having prefix ("a" with this addon) with address bar usage is required due to Firefox security rules, it cannot be circumvented by an addon (without either user assistance (config edit) or security hole).
