2017-05-11 Firefox user 12827221 Since there is no description, i pulled it from the inspiring firefox bug discussion (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8648#c45) The extension watches for redirects that the browser follows. If they have status code 301 (ie, permanent), it'll search all bookmarks for the old URL, and update them with the new URL. There's no current handling for 404s or any other status codes. Also, HSTS upgrades aren't detected by the extension, as these don't generate a 301 from the server. (They happen client side.)

2017-04-21 Martin Ueding I have tried this add-on and it works reliably. It seems to remove the bookmark and create a new one, either way: The tags get removed after visiting the site. This can be destructive if lots of tags are used.
2017-03-31 Firefox user 11430268 This is a really good and necessary idea, but how does it works, in concrete terms ?
