  • Latest version

    Version 1.8.4

    Released Sep 28, 2026 - 35.05 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    This update focuses on Disney+ and on making "Next Episode" reliable on every platform.
    • Mobile Support: InstantSkip can now be installed on Firefox for Android (version 142 or later).
    • Touch-Friendly Settings: On phones, the settings menu fills the screen with larger switches and sliders. Keyboard hotkeys are hidden there, since phones have no keyboard.
    • Note: Some streaming services only play video in their own app on phones, not in the browser. InstantSkip works wherever the site plays in Firefox.
    • Instant Next Episode: The "Up Next" card is now clicked as soon as it appears. No more waiting for Disney+'s countdown.
    • Works with Disney+'s New Player: The extension now reads the episode's position from Disney+'s own progress bar, so the credits are detected correctly.
    • No More Accidental Skips: Fast-forwarding past the middle of an episode no longer jumps to the next episode early.
    • Never Closes the Card by Mistake: The "Close" button next to the Up Next card is always left alone, so the card can't be dismissed instead of played.
    • Error 83 Fix: More precise Disney+ button detection and safer volume-boost handling prevent the "Error Code 83" playback error.
    • Updated for the Current Player: Supports Prime Video's new next-up card and skip buttons, so intros, recaps and next episodes are skipped again.
    • Reliable Binge-Watching: Skip history is now tracked per episode. Auto-next keeps working when the page address doesn't change between episodes (e.g. Prime Video) and when you re-watch an episode.
    • No Endless Loading: After starting the next episode, InstantSkip waits until it is actually playing before it clicks anything else.
    • Automatic Retry: If a site ignores a click, InstantSkip tries again, up to 3 times.
    • Fewer False Popups: The "Resume" button now only appears when you rewind, not when the player jumps back on its own (for example when the next episode loads).

    Version 1.8.3

    Released May 16, 2026 - 27.42 KB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    What's New in InstantSkip v1.8.3 (vs v1.7.5)

    InstantSkip has been re-engineered for the best binge-watching experience. Here are the major improvements since v1.7.5:

    🛡️ Enhanced Stability (Crunchyroll)
    • Settings Protection: New state-aware engine ignores settings menus and toggles, preventing flickering and accidental configuration changes.
    • Improved Detection: Refined text matching and visibility logic for more reliable skipping on complex players.
    • Advanced UI Filtering: Explicitly avoids player control bars and settings overlays during auto-click routines.

    ⚡ Truly "Instant" Skipping
    • High-Speed Detection: Maintained 100ms detection frequency for an immediate response.
    • Updated Selectors: Refined Netflix and Prime Video patterns for global compatibility.

    ⏩ Total Playback Control
    • Custom Playback Speed: Set your preferred speed (0.5x to 3.0x). Now with a dedicated enforcement loop to ensure settings persist on Amazon and Disney+.
    • 300% Volume Boost: Integrated Web Audio API to increase volume up to 3x, handling CORS-restricted streams gracefully.
    • Custom Hotkeys: Remap Rewind, Resume, Volume, and Speed keys directly in the popup.
    • Visual Feedback: New on-screen "Toast" notifications confirm your settings when using hotkeys.

    🛡️ Unrivaled Reliability
    • Multi-Video Support: Automatically detects and applies settings to multiple video elements, including those in nested Shadow DOMs.
    • Distributed Locks: "Write-Wait-Verify" pattern prevents double-skipping in multi-frame (iframe) environments.
    • Scrubbing Protection: Pauses auto-skipping during manual seeking to ensure you don't miss content.

    🎨 Refined UI/UX
    • Store-Ready Design: Perfectly aligned help icons and a 280px dark-mode menu with per-site settings.
    • Privacy First: Zero data collection. Compliant with the latest Firefox Gecko manifest requirements.
