- Rated 2 out of 5by John Doe, a month agoThe update landing page claimed something along the lines of “tons of bug fixes and improvements - too many to list.”
In reality, I don’t see any improvements at all. In fact, it broke features that were working perfectly fine in the previous version.
For starters, embed quality stopped working for me after the update. I’m not sure what else is broken yet, but I’ll update this review as I encounter more issues.
What makes this especially disappointing is that I previously found the extension very impressive. The old version worked flawlessly for me, even after YouTube’s UI changes. Every feature I used continued to work without issues right up until this update.
Given this experience, I’m honestly starting to wonder whether the original author is still maintaining the project, especially considering there’s no proper changelog and the overall experience has clearly regressed.
Anyway, just a heads-up to others. Someone should confirm whether this update actually comes from the original author and possibly decompile the code to check for anything sketchy. I’ll most likely downgrade to the older version and disable auto-updates.Developer response
posted a month agoYou're just out of luck. Maybe try to reinstall it.
And yes, I’m the original author. Don't start spinning fake news or acting like a conspiracy theorist. Mozilla has full access to the source code, you don't need to inspect anything. If you don't trust Mozilla, then don't use Firefox.
For future readers: if you think the previous version works better for you, you can reinstall it from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/versions/
Don't forget to turn off automatic updates. - Rated 4 out of 5by sjahn, a month ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Real, a month agoSometimes it causes the video player to be very small (im on a 2560x1440 monitor), or sometimes the control bar just doesnt appear. If those were fixed, this would be 5 stars easily.
Developer response
posted a month agoThe player being sometimes very small is surprising. Not surprised by the control bar sometimes not visible because I know that some users are facing this issue, and unfortunately I have never been able to reproduce it on my end.
You can send me the debug info file and also give me more details, maybe that could help:

This extension is truly a 'must-have' tool for me. Many thanks to the developer; I am grateful that you didn't abandon us!

- Rated 5 out of 5by indymaestro, a month agoI'm so happy this is back again, being one of my all time favorite extensions, but still isn't working for me so I'll be very happy when it is back up and running 100% again

https://www.mrfdev.com/contact - Rated 5 out of 5by htsign, a month agoHuge thanks for re-listing your add-on on AMO! It’s great to see it back.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17487600, a month agoThank you for bringing this back to the store officially! One of the handful of extensions that make YouTube usable despites Google's best efforts to make me find other entertainment, now back where it belongs, on the one last browser not built by Google. Thank you!

posted a month agoDon't worry, I have planned to progressively implement features from version 3 - Rated 5 out of 5by DapperDanLovesYou, a month agoThis is my absolute favorite YouTube Extension. It does just about every single thing I want to do, especially when it comes to tweaking behavior in playlists and small color changes!
- Rated 2 out of 5by uhuhuh123, a month agoDoes not allow me to dismiss update popup without reloading
Developer response
posted a month agoMessages telling you to refresh YouTube tabs are displayed for good reasons, and if you knew more about an extension's lifecycle, and what happens when it gets updated by the browser, you wouldn't waste your time complaining for something that is inevitable. Annoying users with such messages is not my goal at all. - Rated 5 out of 5by juba98, a month ago
