Twitterviewer redirect
Twitterviewer redirect
A Firefox extension that automatically opens X/Twitter posts, profiles, and hashtags in TwitterViewer.net — no pasting links, no login walls.
Available on Mozilla Add-ons. Firefox 140+ required. Version 1.0.1. Free, open source, no data collected.
What it does
When you visit X or Twitter in Firefox, Twitterviewer redirect sends supported pages straight to TwitterViewer.net so you can read them without an account. It covers:
- Posts:
x.com/<handle>/status/<id>, including photo/video suffixes and/i/status/links. - Profiles:
x.com/<handle>. - Hashtags:
x.com/hashtag/<tag>.
It works on x.com and twitter.com, including www. and mobile. subdomains, and preserves your original URL, query string, and hash so the right post is opened. Navigation pages such as Home, Explore, Search, and sign-in are left alone.

Privacy
This extension collects no personal data and declares no data-collection permissions ("data_collection_permissions": { "required": ["none"] }). It runs entirely in your browser and only rewrites navigation URLs matching x.com and twitter.com — it never sees or stores the page contents.
Only top-level page navigations are redirected (types: ["main_frame"]); images, scripts, and API calls are untouched. TwitterViewer.net itself is never redirected, so there is no redirect loop.
