firefox urledit extension - faster, smarter url editing

What is urledit?

It's a firefox extension that lets you edit the URL bar. The goal is to let you easily edit those longer URLs with lots of cgi paramters.

Screencast

Download

urledit-20070701.xpi

Usage

  • Once installed, right click on the urlbar and click "Edit URL"
  • Right click on any parameter name in the editor window will let you add/delete/modify new or existing paramters
  • Clicking 'OK' will modify the URL based on the changes you made

Bugs/issues

  • Order of the parameters is not maintained after saving the new url. The new order will always be lexigraphical (alphabetic)

I like that one Jordan. Firebug is nice, but urledit is way much faster to use :) thanks a lot.

cheers,

Very valuable extension...
but is not available from addons.mozilla.org ?

Also, would be best to show the url args in appearance order with option to sort them.

Thanks for extension anyway!
Eric
