About this extension
The extension turns on player controls of webm videos by default.

Useful when browsing meme sites such as 9gag.

No need to press the right mouse button and then "show controls".

They will appear by default for each media.

Keep in mind: This extension may not/won't work in sites that use custom video players such as Facebook.

This is an UNOFFICIAL version for Firefox.

Release notes for 4.0.0
Feat: Added option to switch between add-on operation modes:
- Excluded only list - It will work on all supported websites by default. Add domains to this list to block it on them.
- Included only list - Add websites' domains to this list to activate it on them. The add-on will make DOM changes only on those domains added to this list.

Fix: Instagram divs with no class value are clickable again - 'Messages', 'Notifications'...
Fix: Instagram overlays are up a little bit (tags and sound buttons).

Tech stuff:
- Better documentation/comments/code organization.
- Manifest update: No data collection.
