FireAlias Extension

This addon allows you to manually create a collection of shorthand names (or aliases) for websites.

Afterwards you can type in \"goto\" followed by an alias to see the best matching aliases, or you can press enter and the best matching alias will open.

Features:
- Automatic sorting of aliases
- Adding, updating, and deleting aliases
- Navigating using aliases directly in the search bar
- \"Fuzzy search\" for aliases, enabling the correct alias to be found even with minor typos!
- Link-parameters

Aliases can make use of the following link-parameters:
{0}: the alias
{n}: the n-th parameter
{?x:y}: y will only be added to the link if x exists
{@}: all parameters after the alias

Examples:
alias: reddit
link: reddit.com/r/{1}
input: goto reddit funny
This will open the link https://reddit.com/r/funny

alias: g
link: google.com/search?q={@}
input: goto g how many planets are there in the solar system
This will open the link google.com/search?q=how%20many%20planets%20are%20there%20in%20the%20solar%20system
