Firefox extension which stores URL shortcuts?

Asked by saservp (291points) August 26th, 2010

I’m looking for an addon (I don’t know what keywords to use in the extension directory) which will, ostensibly, shorten a URL, but locally (i.e. not just some bit.ly or other kind of url shortening service.

As an example, I type simply ‘b’ and hit enter, and it loads reallysuperlongandcomplicatedurlthatihavetoopenamilliontimesaday.com.

Opendns.com has a dns hack that lets you do this, but only if you proxy all of your requests through their servers, which I don’t want, I’m just looking for a way to do it locally.

I know the super-complicated way of doing it would be to utilize my own local dns server, but I don’t want to go through that hassle, there has to be some sort of browser extension! :P
