Where are the controls? I don't see any menu or buttons. I even set all the buttons to appear below the viewer but there is still nothing. I also set the mouse wheel to control volume (which is the main thing I wanted) and that works, but I don't see any other part of the extension.

Reply: I don't see any way to activate the menu. The "hover" option suggests you make it appear by mousehovering, presumably over the video window. This doesn't work, and I don't know what the "click" option means. I've tried switching to that and nothing changes...I've tried clicking the video but that just pauses as usual. The UI is very cryptic. Is there anywhere we can get support other than through reviews?

The individual buttons need to be enabled for them to appear. The button placement configuration is just to change where those buttons appear.

edit: In a future update I can make the button placement setting for each button not enabled if the button itself isn't enabled. I understand where some confusion could be coming from.

edit 1: The menu needs to have buttons in it to be enabled, those features that add buttons need to be enabled in the settings.

Thank you for making this, finally let me remove Youtube shorts. I have lost so much time because of them and their constant existence was an endless reminder and temptation for that sweet instant dopamine followed by a deathscrol until I would recover 30 minutes later.
I can hardly describe the sheer relief I felt when I saw them disappear from my screen in real time.

I don't even know if I am going to be using a single one of the other features but dear god does the shorts being gone feel like freedom.

You're welcome! Thank you for Reviewing. Even if you only use one feature of the many I'm happy the extension can be of use.

Great replacement for the now defunct Enhancer plugin, with some additional customization which has been quite nice. Although it took a bit of time to figure out why I couldn't figure out why I couldn't place some buttons.

I've been using this for awhile now, how long? I don't know but there wasn't many reviews when I decided to use it. I just wanted to leave a review now and while I can't say anything about a lot of the features since I don't use them but the ones I've been using have worked with no issues and been perfect for my use of it; which is mainly the loop button, automatic quality setting and volume boost. I've been testing the themes recently though and I've liked them. Thanks for the extension and the work you put into it VampireChicken & everyone else! :)

Thank you for reviewing! I appreciate the kind words. I'm currently working on fixing features broken by the new YouTube layout.

Does what it says out of the box. Alot of options and functionality. I chose this to replace "Enhancer for Youtube" after it disappeared from the addon list

Unfortunately unusable with the dark mode themes. Since they force black font and you can't read black font on a dark background. Can fix with custom CSS, but you shouldn't have to. You also can't edit the specific colors for each theme, which makes me wonder why they even show the color options.
Responsa de disveloppator

I can fix that if you make a github issue highlight where you experience issues. I understand that I'm sorry for the inconvenience. The color options are for the "Custom" theme I will make this more clean in a future version of the extension.

Edit: The color options will only be visible when the theme is set to “Custom” in the next release. Regardless, I’d still like to understand the source of the black font that’s making the text unreadable. I am committed to resolving this issue as quickly as possible, and your satisfaction is my top priority. I hope these fixes will positively impact your review.

Edit (2025-10-23): A new version with the fix for the color options and the new youtube layout has been released

2025-10-24 Update. Latest version 1.29.0 also not updating. Still no error msg on update. Thinks its updated it, but re-checking updates puts it back in the update list. Guess its the same problem with Firefox 115.29.0 esr (64-bit) version *since updated from 115.28.0 used previously.
Any update on a possible fix please?

2025-10-04. I'm using Firefox 115.28.0 ESR for Windows. I'm getting an error...
I'm using 1.28.0. "Available Updates" will now show 1.28.1 but won't install. No error msg.
Exported settings and Uninstalled 1.28.0.
Install latest version 1.28.1; Mozilla says file is corrupt. File: youtube_enhancer_vc-1.28.1.xpi.
CRC32 = df3dda8d.
Github .zip same error on install. SHA-256 verified the same.
Reinstalled 1.28.0 OK but restoring settings failed to work. No error msg.
The "Available Updates" will now show 1.28.1 again but won't install. No error msg.
I’m using Windows7, so it’s Firefox 115.28.0 ESR for me.
Guess it’ll be Linux after that because Win10/11...omg, what have they done!
Thanks for replying anyway.

Update the version of your browser, I tested with Firefox 115.28.0 ESR and had the corrupt install message then I updated the browser to 140.3.1 ESR and it worked fine. If this isn't an option I'll have to look into what is causing the install file to appear as corrupt for that version.
Edit: It is weird to me that this issue occurred. When I have time I'll try to test it all that changed from 1.28.0 to 1.28.1 was one bug fix nothing major changed so I'm confused as to what caused this to happen.

Edit (2025-10-24):
I’ve identified the issue, but unfortunately it isn’t something I can fix. Starting November 3rd, 2025, developers are required to disclose data collection practices using the 'browser_specific_settings.gecko.data_collection_permissions' key in the extension manifest.

Older versions of Firefox do not support this key. For example, when testing the extension on Firefox 115.29.0 ESR, the following error appeared:

Reading manifest: Error processing browser_specific_settings.gecko: Unexpected property "data_collection_permissions"

Adds tons of new functionalities and changes YT's behavior to suit what I want.

One caveat - with the latest version, blocking YT Shorts doesn't work correctly anymore. This is the option that made me install this add-on in the fist place, so I'm hoping it gets fixed as soon as possible.
[edit] After reading the author's reply, I updated Firefox from version 143.0.1 to 143.0.3 and it indeed started to hide shorts as expected. Perfect!

What version of the extension are you having this issue with 'Hide shorts' not working, I tested with version 1.28.1 and Firefox version 143.03 on Windows 10 22H2 and it worked fine for me. If you are able to you can provide more information on the

Dev even added a feature I requested. I really have to read the description of this extension to even know what it does - it's all natural for me now. I install this each and every time.

Great but lacks autoplay disabling even when it’s not a playlist.

EDIT : answer to the dev : I honestly don’t know how to be more precise. I am talking about autoplay, a well known YT feature.
Responsa de disveloppator

Thanks for your review, If you give me some more information about what you are talking about I maybe able to implement this feature.

EDIT: Oh I understand now. The extension doesn't stop the autoplay feature right now but I could add that to the list.
