Switching to new theme fixed it! Thank you. I don't like the new theme but as we all know they will be switching to it eventually so I'll just deal with it.
This add-on was working fine for me and then it was updated (yesterday?) and no longer does anything. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and syncing the cache and it shows the videos I've watched on the settings page but it no longer marks them when on YouTube when trying to select the next video that I want to view. I wish there was a way to roll back to the prior version.

posted 5 years agoMy apologies for the trouble! Do you use the old Youtube theme by chance?
The newest update is a complete rewrite and only supports the new Youtube theme since the old one will officially be removed soon. I rewrote the addon since there were some fundamental bugs that I wanted to fix that required some more thorough changes, and supporting the old Youtube theme would have taken a considerable amount of effort during the rewrite.
If you are using the old Youtube theme then you could simply switch to the new one (https://youtube.com/new) and everything should work as usual again. If you want to stick to the old theme then you could switch back to the previous version of this extension. To do so, you can manually install it from the version history (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-watchmarker/versions/) and disable automatic updates for the Youtube Watchmarker in the settings of Firefox (in the "Manage Your Extensions" settings, click on the three dots next to the Youtube Watchmarker and say "Manage", then select the option for "Allow automatic updates: off") such that you stay with that version.
If you are not using the old Youtube theme then ignore my suggestions and open an issue here such that we can look into this further to find the root cause: https://github.com/sniklaus/youtube-watchmarker/issues
