I'm running CL 2.7.1 at Firefox 44.0

At AMO descriptions: http://somesite.com/?to=www.example.com ➜ http://www.example.com/

but, actual behavior is: http://somesite.com/?to=www.example.com ➜ http://www.example.com/#

thanks.

I wondered about this also, here is what I found regarding the hash symbol appearing:

Quote:

That hash-tag is used because some sites adds a counter to links stating the number of times you moved the mouse over them. Thus, it ensures the link is clickable in case such counter is added after it has been cleared by the add-on, otherwise it'd cause a 404 error.

This does not happens using Event Delegation mode, since links are cleaned on-the-fly when clicked.
