Summary

A lightweight addon that simply redirects reddit.com to new.reddit.com. Forcing new.reddit to append to every URL within Reddit to ensure only the "New" Reddit layout is used as you browse Reddit.com.

Notes: Due to Reddits self imposed restrictions. You must be logged into Reddit for the addon to work. It also does not work while in incognito mode. This will be fixed in next update. For now, disable addon to log into Reddit than re-enable it and it will work.

I don't get any kind of error - it just won't redirect. Can you please fix this? Running Firefox 125.0.2 (64-bit)

Never asked to read site data (even after refresh, restart, reinstall), meaning it never got permission to do the only thing it's supposed to do You were faced with an issue and instead of being at all helpful you just said "it works fine for some people". Not even the first time you've used that line lol
