Is there a way to remove a part of a url?

[Ivo Trompert]

I want to know if it is possible to remove a part of a URL. For example:
If I have a URL like this "http://thebad.com/go/3/4749/0/http://th ... om/go/here" and I want to remove "http://thebad.com/go/3/4749/0/" and reload the website so that the good website can be viewed. Is there a way to filter that part out. One note the part "/go/3/4749/0/" is random.

Thank you,

Ivo Trompert

I think the Redirect Remover extension might help.

Redirect Remover hasn't yet been updated to indicate support for Fx 3.5, so doesn't install without hacking the XPI.

Code: Select all

    
  * about:config
  * Right click -> New -> Boolean
  * set extensions.checkCompatibility -> false

no more hacking the xpi, or installing extra extensions

Sorry fanboy, but I've been using that trick as well as 'nightly tester tools' to override version combatibility, and I tried using Redirect Remover on Firefox 3.5, but it just isn't working.

Instead Ivo Trompert you may want to install Greasemonkey and use a userscript to emulate redirect remover's behavior, from userscripts.org. Here's one.
