by Haista, 2 years agoNice addon! Noticed a couple of bug-like things. With ESR Firefox yt subscription page thumbs will now lose 3-dot menu button. And the addon settings aren't settable. Are those things fixable? Thanks!
Response to dev...
Apologies for not mentioning that the addon is problematic with ESR 52.9.0, in Windows XP environment. I did find the setting though. Youtube still works in WinXP, but ever since they introduced the polymer bloat, it's usability has gradually gone downhill. That goes for modern OS's also, so thanks again for trying to make things better!
P.S. The addon works perfectly in Win10. And as much as I would love to, I'm not expecting the addon to become compatible with WinXP.

I downloaded Firefox 102 ESR to test, and I was able to edit the settings just fine. Are you sure you found the popup with all the settings? A few users reported not being able to find it at first. The CustomTube icon should be either on your browser toolbar, or in the Extensions list (by clicking on the extensions button beside Firefox's menu button). Click the icon to open the popup.
If you actually did find the popup and were still unable to change settings, please consider making an issue on the CustomTube Github: https://github.com/lightbeam24/customtube/issues
As for the subscription page thumbnails, YouTube has been A/B testing a new icon system, where the icons take much longer to load. Try refreshing the page while on the subscriptions page, and wait 5-10 seconds. The 3 dots should have appeared by then.
