About this extension

Apr 23, 2025: If you notice the main short simply disappearing then remove the extension, close all Firefox windows before adding it again. The 1.2 version should work but I noticed that it only works on clean install and not on update from version 1.1 or older ones.

What this Add-on does:

When viewing a YouTube Short, the navigation arrows and Shorts queue will be removed. This makes scrolling to the next video impossible, because there is none to scroll too. This makes it so you can't get hooked into scrolling through many random shorts that you didn't want to look at in the first place.

Release notes for 1.2

Fixed add-on after it was broken by a change in how YouTube orders the shorts in the desktop view.
Also made it possible to scroll the comment section of the short while still not allowing to scroll to the next short.
