Description

Redirector is an extension that allows you to specify patterns for pages that should be automatically redirected to other pages. E.g. you always want http://example.com/foo.html to redirect to http://example.com/bar.html.

This can be useful for instance to skip confirmation pages after posting messages on message boards, skipping ad pages that appear before you can view content on certain sites, redirecting from http to https on sites where you always want the https version, redirecting from one hostname to another for proxy servers, or just anywhere where it takes you two or more clicks to get to what you want.

The extension supports both wildcards and regular expressions in patterns. Regular expressions support capturing parantheses so you could define the pattern: http://foo.com/bar.php\?id=(\d+) and define the redirect as http://bar.com/baz.php?id=$1. In that case http://foo.com/bar.php?id=1234 would automatically redirect to http://bar.com/baz.php?id=1234. As of version 1.5 wildcards can also use $1,$2 in the redirect urls, $1 is the contents of the first star match, $2 of the second and so on.

Click on the Redirector button next to your address bar to get started adding and editing redirects, and use the Enable/Disable button to quickly disable the addon.

A bit confusing at first, but very versatile!

Far better than the other redirection add-ons I've tried. Real-time preview. Simple UI. Supports regex back references ($1, $2 etc.)

The help instructions were terribly unhelpful and seemed to assume I was a programmer judging by the lingo they used, and if I was a programmer then I wouldn't need this! It took me about twenty minutes to get it working mostly without them but when I did it worked fine.

Finally, there is a version beside Firefox, could change the example and the name become optional, now if example is blank it cannot be saved

终于有firefox以外的版本了,另外能不能把示例和名字改为可选的，现在不填写示例就无法保存
