Every time I try to open a link, be it trends or a twit, or anything really, the sign-in prompt appears.

I guess it's safe to assume this add-on is abandoned. It does nothing, and no word from the author.

Have you tried clearing all your cache files associated with twitter?

For me the add-on is currently obsolete, because I no longer get that stupid login prompt anyway. Guess it must have been one of the many changes that have happened since Elon Musk bought twitter?

The new twitter policy makes it impossible to consult much of the site without being logged in. This extension gets rid of the login pop-up you used to get when surfing freely. But now it's no longer a pop-up but a connection wall.

Some of the content briefly flashes before the Login Dialog, it's possible we might be able to partially fix this extension's functionality and bring back some data.

Indeed, I see this behavior on my side too. I have absolutely no web skills, so I have no idea if it's feasible. I don't think the redirection to the login page is server-side, so maybe there's a way to stop it.
