by robsku, a year agoFile encodings
bat natively supports UTF-8 as well as UTF-16. For every other file encoding, you may need to convert to UTF-8 first because the encodings can typically not be auto-detected. You can iconv to do so. Example: if you have a PHP file in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding, you can call:
iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 my-file.php | bat
Note: you might have to use the -l/--language option if the syntax can not be auto-detected by bat.
Thank you for continuing! Since the add-on newer stopped working correctly on my oldest CentOS 7 Linux laptop, which I use to watch most YT at home, I didn't know whether it would work on newer FireFox versions… And I emailed you, asking for a copy of the .XPI file for personal use, as my latest ThinkPad didn't get it via Sync, because it was removed from here…
Then a couple of days ago, I noticed I suddenly had it installed on this… Funny thing, the old laptop says when visiting this page that the latest version requires later FireFox, but CentOS is a dead distro (except for some security updates); during the last month or so, I did run full package upgrades, and FireFox was included, but I doubt it was that much newer, but rather just some bugfixes… Yeah, it's 115.8.0esr (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Fedora (CentOS served as testing bed for Fedora), while this newest one has 124.0 (64-bit)…
So I think I would have to install the newer version manually past the package management (or try to build the latest Fedora source RPM to CentOS 7 — along with any dependencies, without breaking it) to get the latest version of this add-on. But it still works great on that version, so for now I don't feel it's worth the time…
I never saw you reply to my request… but my mailbox is too full, I got so much spam and other unwanted mail that I'm having a hard time keeping up with it… So I also tried to search how could I copy the installed extension from another profile (on another system, but that's not important) into another… I could have, of course just backed up my .mozilla/firefox/ folder, and tried my best, that way I could have got it back at any time…
But THANK YOU SO MUCH for making a new version available… Just one request: Please keep older, or at least the latest version available — either here with warning, or simply on your homepage with a big clear warning that it's at one's own risk to try it, and if it doesn't work, you warned them. There might always be cases where people want them anyway… And may get them working. <3

- Rated 1 out of 5by SaltyBottoms, 15 hours ago6/17/2025 - extension was working perfectly fine until yesterday for me. now all of a sudden it's not working no matter how many times I try to reload the extension, reload my browser, delete my cache, etc. it's been 7mo since the extension has been updated so that could be an issue. I'll report back if I find a substitute.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Brujahwolf, 6 days agoThis was a much-valued addition, but it seems to have stopped working.
It shows as being switched on, but the controls don't show, none of the settings I had are operative, and the option to configure it seems to have also vanished. - Rated 4 out of 5by Walys, 6 days ago[Switched due to continued closed source in 2025, but flawless experience otherwise]
Was my main driver for Youtube for at least the last four years and has been flawless in my usage.
Initially I would've given this five stars before, but the software is still closed sourced. Good alternatives now exist with mobile functionality (Android) and extended feature sets while following open source principles.
Thank you for everything, MRFDEV. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18443570, 8 days ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Synetech, 11 days agoIt used to be useful, but then it "required" Firefox 121+ for some reason (though manually copying the files to ESR115 works).
Bugs:
• There's a bug in the resolution settings that hides anything above 720p.
• The speed override has a bug where it only works for the first video in a playlist and subsequent videos revert to 1× speed. If I can't force an entire playlist at 2.5×, then this doesn't help. 😕 - Rated 5 out of 5by RozalDDL, 12 days ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14528670, 12 days agoBroken. This extension triggers yourtube's adblock detection. I can't watch videos with this turned on now.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18954130, 15 days agoWorks great but I am starting to see "web blockers not allowed" when I open youtube. I can close the pop up and youtube works. First time this has happened and I have had the extension for well over a year, probably closer to 2.
