Lean URL has a few serious shortcomings. I've fixed those in my fork called Neat URL. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/neat-url/ The improvements in Neat URL: * set your own URL parameters on the options page (to reach feature parity with Pure URL) * fixed for recent Firefox versions * a nice animation in the toolbar (can be changed or disabled) * domain-specific blocked parameters (to reach feature parity with Pure URL)
