Enhancer for YouTube is gone

Yea, even tho it’s said completely broken on Firefox, it’s still works fine for me, but it had to be manually activated by clicking on channel page (or by clicking on next video) while you are currently watching the video. This will stay permanent unless I opened a video in new tab, which I had to do all of this again.

However on my 2 other PCs, the extensions still works out of the box without doing any steps that I did for my main gaming PC, same YT account, same browser versions (Waterfox G6.0.5), probably has to do with browser cache or something.

Looks like the issues above that I get only appears when the “Block Ad” feature on Enhancer on YouTube is disabled. When that was disabled, the extension will be also temporarily disabled until you click on anything (like channel page), then go back to previous page, the extension will work again. If the Block Ad feature was enabled in Enhancer for YT, the extension might work out of the box, but the YT adblock message will shown.

Keeping the “Block Ad” feature off in Enhancer and using uBlock Origin in combination with Enhancer works well for me.

I’ve found the app works for everything I use it for - speed, volume, setting resolution, toggling endscreens etc. But - even though I don’t use the ad blocker, and have it turned off in the settings, For the last week YouTube has given me the AdBlock warning - EVEN THOUGH IT IS DISABLED. So I have to disable Enhancer until that false detection is fixed or worked around.

It’s so sad it’s gone.

It worked perfectly fine for me. Had to reinstall my OS. Accidentally deleted part of my firefox profile.
Lost this addon, really loved it for so many things that WORKED. It worked. It worked and it’s gone and now I have the big sad :frowning:

Please put it back somewhere. Even if it works just a bit :cry:

You can download latest version 2.0.121 from the WebArchive, but it’s not so straightforward, so follow these steps:

  1. open http://web.archive.org/web/20231025053857/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/

  2. right click “Download file”

  3. in the context menu select “Save Link As…”

  4. this will download “enhancer_for_youtube-2.0.121.xpi” file

  5. open “about:addons” page and click the gear icon in the corner and select “Install Add-on from File…”

Can we use all the extensions that are removed from Mozilla from external source? Like if we able to get download pack so can we use open developer option to install these extension or we can use chrome store for that? is it safe option?

#20

To install extension outside the store, it needs to be signed by Mozilla (all addons in store are signed, even after they are removed), and it must be NOT present on the “malware list”. If the addon is removed due to serious policy violation, it will be marked as malware and removed from existing devices.

Your Firefox will not allow you to install addon that’s not signed, even if it’s not coming from store.

Regarding extensions in Chrome store, they are not directly installable to Firefox.

#21

Adding to what @juraj.masiar said. Should also note that on Developer edition, Nightly, and many Firefox forks signiture verification can be bypassed by turning it off in the about:config by toggling the flag xpinstall.signatures.required to false.

Malware list can also be bypassed as well but that’s not recommended and can be dangerous, can be done by changing extensions.blocklist.enabled to false. Though if you do this you’re at risk by malicious extensions which have already been flagged.

#22

Why would you tell people how to disable protection? :upside_down_face:
It’s not needed to get the “Enhancer for YouTube” back.
If you are trying to install an addon that’s not signed, you are likely installing a malware!
EDIT: oh, I see you are replying to the other guy :slight_smile:, still, it’s highly NOT recommended to make any changes in the about:config page.

I’m sure some of you might’ve heard already that Google/Alphabet/Youtube is intentionally delaying the page loading by 5 seconds on Firefox browsers… this is most likely one of the reasons why the addon has issues on Firefox, so if anyone has problems browsing YT just add this line in your uBlock Filter list: www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001) or use a User Agent Switcher and spoof to Chrome…

#24

I had to make an account on here, just to say thank you. You saved me, I use that extention for 1 reason, when you open a new tab, the old one plays but if I play the new tab the old pauses. I haven’t found another that allows the same, so thank you so much.

Google is behind this, While I am signed in to my Google account, Youtube videos are stopped with a warning that my Adblocker is on. When I sign out of Google, my videos play normally. I really like Enhancer for Youtube.

#26

Don’t use EfYT for ad blocking, instead:

#28

Youtube stops video play, warning, you are violating youtubes terms of service. I have no other problems with enhancer for youtube.

#29

First: this extension has always been somewhat buggy on Firefox. It’s had its ups and downs, but it always worked poorly, generally. I suppose the author is not as interested in supporting Firefox as he is in supporting Chrome. Fair enough.

Second: I have the extension installed, since I installed it before it was removed from the store. Can I extract the xpi file from my profile or something so I can back it up?

#31

Are you asking for info about if it was “voluntarily” removed, or are you asking for that information to always be clarified on AMO?
Anyway, this thread already has the information that i was “voluntarily” removed:

But that link and info looks valid to me?! So it wont be me reporting that as spam.
