Version 2.2.2
Released Nov 27, 2017 - 40.84 KBWorks with firefox 42.0 and later, android 48.0 to 68.*- attempt to reduce opening of tabs on possibly valid URLs that turn out to not be real (mostly single words you double-clicked on), at the expense of having to try to connect to them invisibly first (HTTP HEAD request) before attempting to open a tab

Version 2.2.1
Released Nov 27, 2017 - 40.62 KBWorks with firefox 42.0 and later, android 48.0 to 68.*- it won't go off when you double-click text in input fields anymore, since those doubleclicks are likely for text editing, not for opening urls

Version 2.2.0
Released Nov 25, 2017 - 40.57 KBWorks with firefox 42.0 and later, android 48.0 to 68.*- attempt to improve URL recognition: the addon should now work with anything your browser considers a valid URL (all protocols, options like authorization and query params, etc). However, determining where plaintext URLs start and end may be less accurate if the text is "polluted" (punctuation marks and such appended directly on either end of the URL, for example)
- added option to control where the new tab opens and to notify about failures
