Archived 🔒

This repo is closed for 2 major reasons:
1. I have lost 2FA credentials to log into my Mozilla account. So there is no possibility for future updates.
2. The project requires a complete overhaul. Further patches will complicate it unnecessarily.
I hope Alter was able to provide some value.

FAQs

Sometimes it is stuck and do not redirect. What to do?

The Alter icon provides you the option to change redirect instances.
In this case you need to change instance to a different one.

After update, some redirections are showing undefined. What to do?

When new redirection feature is added, no instance is saved for the new feature. So alter does not know where to redirect.
Click on the Alter icon and submit the form once. You'll be good to go.
