URL Alias is a tiny Friefox extension that allows you to configure replacements to some keywords (aliases) you type into address bar.Possible uses and configuration examples:* bookmarking by alias: instead of typing full URL or opening bookmarks panel, you can just type preconfigured shorthand for itExample: configuring alias "mail http://mail.google.com/gmail" and then typing "mail" will take you to http://mail.google.com/gmail* you can reference browser chrome:// URL-s in same wayExample: "alias chrome://urlalias/content/" rule will take you to configuration dialog of this extension if you type "alias"* searching from address bar: if you type something after an alias, it will be appended to replacement URL.Example: configuring alias "wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" and then typing "wiki Main_Page" will take you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page* more complicated substitions: you can specify %s in replacement URL to insert query text to its place instead of appending.Example: "lj http://%s.livejournal.com/" will transform "lj someuser" to http://someuser.livejournal.com/* [new in 2.2.0] you can specify %1, %2, ... in replacement URL to insert part of query text to its place.Any leftover tokens are appended to query string as per above rules.Example: "w http://%1.wikipedia.org/wiki/" will transform "w ru Firefox" to http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox* default search engine: if you define replacement for "*" keyword, it will treat any entered non-URL-like text as query text for this alias.Example: configuring "* http://google.com/search?q=" and then typing "somequerytext" will take you to http://google.com/search?q=somequerytextAliases may be assigned either in configuration dialog or using context menu option.This is a complete rewrite of the old URL Alias extension by Rob Kristiaan:https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/708Requirements:
