Description (please include examples/screenshots where applicable)

The extension seems to work fine when directly clicking a link, but if you right click and select "Open Link in New Tab" from the context menu, I still see redirect occurring (tested on a google.com search result page), and not being fixed by this extension. Strangely, I think "Open Link in New Window" and "Open Link In New Private Window" may be working correctly - or at least the redirect is happening so fast I never see the intermediate page.

Using Firefox 91.5.0esr(64bit), Skip Redirect v2.3.5

I just tried and it works as expected.

Sorry, I tried again, and you are right. I was confused by the brief appearance of the original URL in the address bar, but missed the popup that alerted me to the fixed redirect. Sorry for wasting your time!

Hey, just had this same issue on version 2.3.6 with firefox 102.0.1 on windows 10.

The problem occurs when you have two firefox windows open, and try to "open in new tab" from the second window.

That is, if I have the exact same page with redirect links open in two windows, the "primary" window will work correctly, and the secondary window will not.

Upon further trial and error and restarting, the problem seems a bit more random than this.

New observations:

• Open in new tab can fail on any window
• Once it fails, it will continue to fail (retrying is useless) unless you refresh the page containing the link you're trying to click
• If it succeeds once, subsequent attempts to open in new tab may still fail
• Possibly my adblock addon is in a race with the skip redirect addon?
  • If the adblock addon sees the redirectful link and goes to a block page, the skip redirect addon cannot skip to the true, non-blocked page?
• There is possibly a time component? Maybe clicking the link before the page completely loads causes success?
