Prevent redirection to x.com from fxtwitter

[elijahr2411]

When someone clicks an fxtwitter link, ?mx=1 should be added to the twitter URL it redirects to, which prevents the redirect to x.com

Example:

twitter.com/someone/status/1234567890 -> might redirect to x.com
twitter.com/someone/status/1234567890?mx=1 -> Will stay on twitter.com, at least for now

If you didn't know, Twitter has already migrated, albeit not completely, to x.com.

So, using ?mx=1 works for now but who knows if it will remain this way?
Best to just wait and see.

Just wanted to make note on here that while the adding the ?mx=1 param to the redirect does keep it on twitter.com site, a user's login session does not work unless they are redirected onto the x.com version of the site. So if someone opened an fx link with the intent to interact with the post they now need to reload the page to do so.

Yeah, good point @AncientAzem. At the moment I'm leaning towards just not doing anything because either you can use an extension to prevent redirection to x.com, or for people already using x.com it works like normal as-is.
