Private Redirector by Navist

Private Redirector helps you control where links open before they load.

Create rules that can:

• Open matching URLs in a Firefox Private Window
• Redirect matching URLs in the current tab
• Redirect matching URLs into a Private Window
• Block matching URLs
• Keep matching pages from loading in your normal Firefox session

Useful examples:

• Open Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, or eBay links privately
• Redirect Reddit links to old.reddit.com
• Convert YouTube Shorts URLs into regular watch URLs
• Block links you never want to open
• Create your own rules for any website

Private Redirector includes preset rules for common platforms, but most presets are disabled by default. You decide which rules are enabled.

Important Firefox setup:

Firefox requires you to manually allow extensions to work in Private Windows. After installing, open:

about:addons → Private Redirector → Details → Run in Private Windows → Allow

The extension checks for that setting and shows setup help if it is missing.

Privacy:

Private Redirector does not use analytics, tracking, remote code, or external servers. Rules and settings are stored locally in Firefox extension storage. The extension only acts on top-level navigations that match rules you enable or create.
