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.

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)

Not compatible with Firefox/3.0.9

I'd love if you could do the same thing, 'Edit URL' with links on a page.

i.e. right click on a url on a page, choose 'Edit URL' then execute the link

Looks nice. But what I'm really looking for is a way to create rules that rewrite links automatically.

For instance, if I on search site X wants to always adjust a parameter to get 50 results per page instead of 20, or if I want to create a rule to skip a redirect site, for instance http://foo.com/?url=bar.com, I could create a rule that rewrites the URL to bar.com.

Go back and copy your comment, reload the form, and resubmit. Apologies if this is a hassle, I'm just playing with antispam methods right now. If this insists on not working, please email me about it.
