- by Firefox user 15591138, 2 days agoRated 2 out of 5Great add on but latest update bugged it so everytime i click on Video or notification it redirects to random community post
- by Mojave, 3 days agoRated 2 out of 5Generally an awesome plug-in I use every single day. The latest update is bugged though. If you go to youtube in a new tab and click on any video (click on the video, do not open it to a new tab) it now redirects to a random (or maybe most recent?) community post. Tried clearing cache, didn't help. Disabling the plugin of course fixes the problem consistently.
- by flickr, 4 days agoRated 2 out of 5Clicking videos on front page redirects to random community posts. Since there's no place to submit bug reports I have to write this here.
- by Firefox user 14313383, 10 days agoRated 2 out of 5the settings for auto stoping videos are broken. it always pauses videos when i switch tabs and i have to mash space 3 times to get every video to play.
- by Firefox user 16621721, 22 days agoRated 2 out of 5it seems the developer does not want to fix his wonderful app. used to be a 4.9* reviews
for those people who does not like the current version of the app
just go to the homepage of the Enhancer for Youtube
then look down and find "see all versions" without quotations then click it.
after that, select version 2.0.101 (what others recommend) or 2.0.99 (this is what i currently use)
it works almost all the time
if it does not work, i quick reload will do the trick
i use 1.5 speed all the time in youtube and uses specific resolution and uses the scrolling down to comments, the video follows on a specific resolution
and using both speed and volume shortcut control - by Savannah, a month agoRated 2 out of 5Not sure when this started, but this add-on seems to prevent videos from beginning at the correct time when there's a timestamp in the YouTube link. i.e. If you go to a link that says https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[video]&t=574s, the video will just start at the beginning instead of starting at 9:34. This problem went away as soon as I disabled this add-on.

- by person331912, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5the latest updates did nothing but detract from the add-on and worsen the experience. one made it so you have to click farther away to access the add-on's buttons, the other made it so you need another click before you can access them in the form of a triple dot icon. and finally expanding the video player does not work correctly most of the time ever since these updates rolled out. i don't know why they're doing this but this used to be my #1 extension. now i'm forced to roll back to out of date versions.
- by Mario, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5I hate the new version, is intrusive with the UI and override the youtube options/behavior. I still using this, just for the cinema mode.
- by feniaram, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5last update changed everything I liked about this add-on, removing now :(
- by kyodaster, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5was good but I hate the new version, I really miss the tool bar
- by TeamDman, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5Recent update made it not worth the effort to keep enabled.
Extension settings now override youtube ones, instead of adapting them. If you turn the autoplay toggle off, it still keeps autoplaying since the extension's checkbox for autoplay doesn't update.
Having videos be auto-paused in new tabs until you click them behaviour changed, now you have to click the youtube icon in the centre of the video instead of just clicking anywhere on the video. Overrides youtube specified theme with the extension one. If it's not going to respect changes made to settings using the buttons on the youtube page, it should at least hide those buttons. - by Mr Goof, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5Was working absolutely fine until the update, now experiencing all sorts of problems. Like the old saying goes " if it isn't broken, fix it until it is!" Had to disable it.
Edit: Reinstalled Version 2.0.101 from here, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/versions/ and everything appears to work as before, turned off auto updates for the time being. Will update when fixed. - by spamerman, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5скриншоты не работают
минусов у новой версии больше чем у предыдущей !! - by tobim91, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5Das neue Update ist ja nett ABER jedesmal wenn ich Firefox Starte aktiviert das Addon jetzt auto play. Bitte ausmachen und fixen. Danke
- by Firefox user 12741256, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5Everything works, but it won't load when I start Firefox. I have to go into Add-ons manager and toggle it off then back on for it to work. Very annoying and will have to look for an alternative add-on and uninstall this if it isn't fixed. What's the point of the Add-on if it won't work!
- by firefox-user964, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5This used to be a great addon, latest update is still functional but the new interface is awful, too fussy and intrusive. Bring back the old look.
Edit - for those who prefer the old look you can rollback to the previous version

The 'boost volume' button covers up my sound bar for some reason. The speed button was turned into three separate buttons, you can still change the speed by scrolling the main one, so I don't see the point of other two. Also before the update you could scroll down and still use the toolbar but now you have to go all the way up.
- by phayze, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5The missing minibar at the bottom of the page is frustrating because all the buttons are now stacked on the youtube player making it ugly and unnecessarily full
- by majoraswrath, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5Speed of the video can no longer be controlled. And no I did not use boost sound.
- by Firefox user 16286954, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5Great to see a new version though I was happy with the last one for a long time but the one feature I want that is generic BUT missing now.. How to disable continuous play-mode. I watch YouTube till I sleep but it keeps playing till I wake up to switch off or from afar at my bed click the TINY auto-play off.

- by Jonathan Paugh, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5This extension has a plethora of options, but they're not well organized. (Look at the settings for any popular IDE for how it should look.) What I needed was A) an assurance that the default settings would not modify YouTube at all (or at least a summary of the default changes), and B) a quick way to discover if the specific feature I need actually exists in this plugin.
Without A), I have to read and understand *every* option before I can rely on this plugin, and without B) I don't even know if it's worth the effort or not. In summary, the new-user experience suffers from the sheer magnitude of what it can do. - by Gordol, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5I find this to be highly inconsistent. Sometimes the videos are in expanded view, sometimes in default view, sometimes in cinema view and sometimes in theater view, all without changing the settings in this extension. Makes it highly unpredictable as to what my viewing experience will be.
On top of that, the settings are very obtuse in what they actually do and how thee interact with each other. For example, I count at least three different settings for the viewport size. WHY??? - by Firefox user 16615691, 3 months agoRated 2 out of 5Decent when it works properly but that is rare. 90% of the time it doesn't turn off annotations despite being set to and an increasingly more annoying issue is videos loading in a lower resolution forcing me to reload the page for the set resolution to take effect. The extension seemed to work much better with the legacy version of youtube. Since that's been completely scrapped now this extension is becoming more and more inconsistent. Dropped my new rating to 2 stars from the 4 I gave in the past because the issue with annotations has still not been fixed despite almost 3 years having passed.
