- Rated 5 out of 5by Seb., 2 months agoExcellent tool! Now I can watch 4:3 movies on full screen! Can pan and zoom like in best media player MPC-HC! Thank you very much!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Wepeel, 8 months agoThe functionality is good, but it never works the first time a video is opened. The tab always has to be refreshed once before it starts working.

posted 8 months agoThanks for the review. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue you described when I went to YouTube.
Sort of reminds me of how pressing Alt (and bringing up the application's menu) can sometimes block hotkeys though (fixable by clicking anywhere on the page and trying again). If you've freshly installed or enabled the add-on this (and most) add-ons won't run until the page is refreshed as well.
If those don't help, then I'll probably need more information to try and help you with your issue, like what website and what other add-ons or settings that might be different than default Firefox on Windows. You can email me with the Support email link and I'll be happy to help! - Rated 5 out of 5by WarriorOfLoght, 10 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18157710, a year agoVery good incredibly handy when you want to zoom in on something. Even works on Netflix however obviously not meant for it, as resetting the video places the image in the bottom left corner leaving you with just the top right corner of the video visible.

posted a year agoThanks for the review and for letting me know about the Netflix support.
The next release will feature proper Netflix support although it may be some time before the next release. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nodosity, a year agoI had a problem with one site where my video could be in 1080p resolution, but it was compressed for some reason, and by chance I found this extension. Very easy and simple to use. Works perfectly with all the sites I use frequently. Would recommend to anyone having the same issues as me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ardzma, a year agoI just log in for the first time to post this review. You saved my life with this!, does what it says, unbelievable. Thanks.
- Rated 5 out of 5by John Wagner, a year agoLogged in just to leave this review! Does exactly what I need it to flawlessly, which is adjust 4:3 videos encoded in 16:9 back to 4:3. It would be amazing if this also worked on the Firefox pop out video player too! I'm not sure if that's even possible, but it would pretty much make this plug-in perfect for my use case. Thanks!

Sadly, yes, currently not possible with Firefox's built-in pop out player to my knowledge.
I may try my hand at making a separate extension that allows this on Chrome and mostly allows this for Firefox (with a window title-bar showing). Unfortunately it won't be perfect on YouTube because of all the extra queuing, mini players, custom playlists and such can't really be supported properly with the method I'm envisioning.
I'd love to learn more about this use case, like what websites you generally use for pop out and I assume on Windows? Feel free to email me if you feel like it :). - Rated 5 out of 5by Billy, 2 years agoWow an extension that literally just WORKS... how rare! Also, I'm getting the vibe that this was made by either a very small company or a sole developer.. either way, props! and thank you👍

Yup, solo dev over here. Certainly not an accident that it works as well as it does: attention to detail, a *lot* of testing and good feedback from users :).
As for tracking and general malicious add-ons, you can never be too cautious. Security and privacy are very important to me so I rarely run add-ons I haven't made myself.
That being said, I'll do everything in my power to safeguard the privacy and security of the users of my add-ons. The add-ons I've created were designed to be secure, minimal, concise, easily audited, never load external code, and free of obfuscation (packing).
You can probably get Mozilla to look over my code more thoroughly (I'm hoping especially for updates) if you recommend my add-on to be featured like it is in Chrome's Webstore.

(I'll probably do this myself as soon as I make a real internationalized website for this since I'm a bit of a perfectionist.)
Stay vigilant! :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Andro, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15229254, 2 years agoNice addon. Did the job for me. I only wanted it for flipping live streams on Twitch where streamers show a mirror image of themselves instead of their actual image.
Aside from the toolbar, would be good to have an "Options" menu in Firefox's "Manage Extensions" page as well.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks for the review and I'm glad you're finding the extension useful. It's valuable for me to hear how people are using the extension.
Also, great suggestion! I'll link up the settings page to that Options menu in Manage Extensions in the next version.
