I'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.

Not actually compatible with FF Android.

Simple, very useful add-on.

Just installed, love the regex option, makes it easy to define rules (once you've tackled learning regex - try regexr.com to test and learn, helped me tons). Will update after some actual use. :)

It 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.

I could redirect youtube's URL from default to /embed/videoid for automatic full page display

i want to import rules from online. can you add this feature?

when :
rightclick -> save link as
the URL/address still like that ...

andOR something like : redirector -> then send to download manager
i do really need this ... so i use : rightclick -> save link as
but it doesnt worked ...

its only worked when :
rightclick -> open new tab/window

This works well on Firefox but what about androids and Iphones

No way to interface with the add-on. No menu, no button. Compatible with ff android? Yea right! Same story with %90 of them on AMO. Show up as compatible when it is not.

Why does this add-on require an example for each URL? Makes no sense to me.

Also I would love to import and export to CSV files because generating JSON out of my own rules is a Herculian task.

Also, please, change the view to table or something like that:

COLUMN 1: Name (optional)
COLUMN 2: Rule
COLUMN 3: Replace
COLUMN 4: Extra options
COLUMN 5: Checkbox (enabled)

Does 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.

I'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".)

Not much to say about this, other than it works, and works well. Seems to be exactly as powerful as it needs to be.

This 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?

Updated on Nov 8:
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.

great add-on, easy and useful. but it lacks the support for redirecting to (file:///) URI on local machine.

Save lot of time when debugging !

powerful and works well - thanks for your work

Used 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.

The 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.

When I go to create a new redirector, the Save button is greyed out. Should I use an older version that's compatible?

It does not work in the last days on Firefox 48 + Redirector 3.1.0.
Not saved settings redirects.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.
