- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15196838, 2 years agoDoesn't support my 5120x1440 monitor. If it did, it'd be perfect, but as of now I can't use it. A bug was filed and closed by the author, so if you have a supported resolution you'll probably love this extension, but if you don't it will crop the top and bottom of videos in upscale mode :(
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16831704, 2 years agoWhen it works, its great! But lately Ive had trouble with 4:3 videos (or anything less then 16:9), and randomly it disables its self, or changes what mode its in.

posted 2 years agoYou may want to try reloading tabs that were open before the extension was installed.
I can confirm it works everywhere.- Rated 5 out of 5by stef, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by NatT96, 3 years agoThis doesn't work at all on Hulu sadly, needs an update for the latest firefox version and testing with multiple streaming platforms as well.
UPDATE: It works! Just had to refresh webpage after installation. - Rated 5 out of 5by Viking, 3 years agoReal easy to use, works like a charm. Weird that Disney doesn't fix this themselves.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jordan, 3 years agoDoes what it is written, but it just suddenly stopped working after the new FF update.
Edit: Thanks for the response, Dev. I am using Windows 11 21H2, FF 99.0.1 (64bit) I tried clean uninstall and reinstalling firefox, didnt work.Developer response
posted 3 years agoWhich FF version are you refering to and which device and OS?
I am on macOS Monterey v12.2.1 and FireFox v100.0b9 (64-bit) and it still works as it did in the past.
EDIT:
Could you please follow this guide from the discussion board? It used to be the Chrome only issue (on Windows), but maybe it is now FF too.
https://github.com/dvlden/ultrawideo/discussions/62 - Rated 3 out of 5by Ayrell, 3 years agoDoes what it says it does, but the shortcuts are very confusing.
I cannot get the pause toggle to work with shortcuts, making the extension very annoying to actually use.Developer response
posted 3 years agoWhen extension is paused, it no longer listen for shortcuts. I was trying to completely "disable" it with this behaviour. Seems misleading and people do complain a lot about this "feature".
I will try to fix it, while still in v2. - Rated 4 out of 5by Bananenbiz, 3 years agoI wish it had hybrid upscale too.
Like upscaling the video to 18:9 and then stretching the result to fill up the whole screen. Right now stretch mode is hardly used.
The extension 'UltraWidify' does have this option though, but this extension is way more stable and performs a LOT smoother so I would like to see it here. - Rated 3 out of 5by Black Knight, 3 years agoWorks, but it doesn't have the upscale mode that I need. Upscale seems to fill the screen horizontally from edge to edge, but it can cut off the top and bottom of the video if it's too tall. I'd rather upscale fills the frame vertically, and leaves black bars on the side if it has to. The frame should never be cut off. This is an issue I noticed with Expanse on Amazon Prime. The aspect ratio seems to be non-standard.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Troy, 3 years agoWorks great and I enjoyed it for months when I had a UltraWide but when I upgraded to a Samsung G9 that has a wider aspect it no longer works correctly. It would be really nice if you added support for other resolutions. Right now the only options I have are to not use the add-on, have a ridiculous stretch that is unwatchable, or have it cut inches off the top and bottom of the video. I just want it to fill the screen and leave the sides black so the Video is as large as possible on my screen without cutting anything off. Your screenshots show that I should use "Normal Mode" for this effect but that's not how your addon works, not even with a standard Ultrawide.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jorge, 3 years agoWorks as expected and solves the annoying fact that Dinsey+ doesn't support ultrawide monitors.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14431287, 3 years agoBest ultrawide extension for Firefox I've found and I've tried many. Even works with local media servers like Jellyfin.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Shmunzle, 3 years agoVielen Dank für diese Extension! Schön, dass hier hier Ideen weiter gedacht werden als bei manchen Desktop-Website Entwicklern der jeweiligen Streamingplattformen.
