Review summary

Users find the HTTP request maker add-on flexible and effective for testing HTTP requests and JSON communication. However, multiple users report issues with unclear or non-functional submit/run mechanisms and conflicts with the default shortcut key, which overlaps with Firefox's downloads shortcut. Additionally, the add-on automatically follows redirects without an option to disable this, and error responses are not displayed comprehensively, complicating debugging efforts. Overall, while functional, usability and interface improvements are desired.

Pros

Flexible and works well for testing JSON communication.
Displays results in a separate tab and allows setting headers in the sidebar.
Works flawlessly according to multiple users.
Good for debugging HTTP requests and responses.

Cons

Submit button or functionality to run requests is unclear or not working properly for some users.
Default shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Y) conflicts with Firefox's downloads shortcut, making it hard to reopen or access the add-on.
Automatically follows redirects without option to disable, which some users dislike.
Response handling is problematic: error responses (non-200 codes) do not show full details easily, requiring extra steps.
