can't get the extension popup, the button in extensions list is grey/unclickable

Followed the photos exactly and doesn't work at all.

This doesn't appear to be working in Firefox 125 on Windows. I gave 3 stars because I might be doing something wrong, but I really like the idea and how clean it looks to have been implemented.

Is URL Alias Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

URL Alias requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
