X redirect breaking extension

ckjbgames opened this issue · comments

I am running OldTwitter 1.8.3.7 in Firefox 125.0.3 on Windows 11, and I am logging into Github today for the first time in maybe seven years to report this (cheers!).

I noticed today that the planned redirect from Twitter domains to "X" domains has rolled out for me, and at first, this redirect simply did not work with OldTwitter enabled, giving me a long URL beginning in "twitter.com" which I unfortunately neglected to take a screenshot of and can no longer reproduce. This left me at a blank page at first, so I fault isolated the issue to this extension and disabled it, which made the x.com URL perfectly accessible. Re-enabling it shortly after, I saw that OldTwitter did not have permissions to change data on the "X" site (and only Control Panel for Twitter, another extension, could affect the content and layout):

I understand if fixing this isn't in the plans given that I seem to remember dimden tweeting something about freezing the OldTwitter project, but if it is, it would be much appreciated.

OldTwitter 1.8.3.7 is old version, it was already fixed in newer versions, you need to update extension manually since it was removed from mozilla store
