Usually works great with my Firefox browser, but now comments on YouTube Shorts won't open. Looks like the this needs an update.

the Extension is a must have for everyone using YouTube, one thing to mention the Extension doesn't load properly all the times I'm using a FireFox fork, found people online complaining about the same thing, hope the dev addresses this issue in the NEXT update


Edit: a turn around fix that I use for now is a costume script

first install the Tampermonkey extension

second use this costume script(dont forget to edit the youtube and tampermonkey links):


// ==UserScript==
// @name Force Enhancer for YouTube
// @namespace past tampermonkey link here/
// @version 0.1
// @description Ensure Enhancer for YouTube loads consistently
// @author You
// @match past youtube link here /*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
'use strict';

// Function to check if Enhancer for YouTube is loaded
function checkEnhancerYouTube() {
// Look for specific elements that Enhancer for YouTube creates
const enhancerLoaded = document.querySelector('#enhancer-for-youtube-controls') ||
document.querySelector('[id^="enhancer-for-youtube"]');

if (!enhancerLoaded) {
console.log('Enhancer for YouTube not detected, forcing reload...');

// Create a temporary element to trigger mutation observers
const trigger = document.createElement('div');
trigger.id = 'enhancer-youtube-trigger';
trigger.style.display = 'none';
document.body.appendChild(trigger);

// Dispatch events that might wake up the extension
window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize'));
document.dispatchEvent(new Event('readystatechange'));

// Clean up and try again
setTimeout(() => {
trigger.remove();
checkEnhancerYouTube();
}, 2000);
}
}

// Run after YouTube has loaded
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
setTimeout(checkEnhancerYouTube, 3000);
} else {
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
setTimeout(checkEnhancerYouTube, 3000);
});
}
})();

If you open the comments section while watching a short, the video and the comments section will overlap.

Very convenient add-on that makes YouTube better. Too bad the devs abandoned it, but for me 2.0.130.1 still works well.

I'm very glad that they added a "Custom Script" area in the Settings, as I wanted a function where I can scrub the timeline using the mouse wheel. GPT wrote me a script and it worked perfectly!

Works very well on Firefox ! On chrome, it has some issues with the 'Expand' button

Mini Player broken. 2-9-25

SAME HERE !! --> not worked 100% of the time, sometimes it just vanishes

Could be 5 stars if it worked 100% of the time, sometimes it just vanishes, out of nowhere, but when it comes back it's wonderful, try it.

Everything is cool, just a shame that support for this browser extension has ended (at least that's how I see it 😐). At least, I hope it will be continue. Because without this extension, browsing YouTube is slow and boring.

good ex

Having stuttering and lag. For firefox shut it down he said!

Developer Says;
Extension v2.0.* randomly working in background tabs?! Controls not visible on page load?!
I know... No need to report these issues again and again, I have never been able to reproduce them...
The only way to fix them was to rewrite everything from scratch to create the version 3.0, and after months of hard work it is now available for Chrome and Edge so install it on those browsers because the version 3 will only be available for Firefox if Mozilla changes its review process because after more than 12 years publishing my extension on AMO there are things that I don't accept anymore!

It's great when it works but recent YT changes have broken it, some features like control buttons or miniplayer when scrolling don't show up unless you refresh several times, also YT recently has this weird lag that breaks the entire tab, though it could be unrelated to the extension but it goes away when disabling it

It's great, but for some reason it doesn't always load anymore. I have to hard-refresh a couple times before it works again (i'm watching for the control buttons). when it does load correctly, it's great.

I've had the extension for some time now and just getting around to really playing with it. Seems to work very well for some of its features but for others I can't seem to get them to work, meaning if for example there is a keyboard shortcut to have YouTube do XYZ when I use that shortcut nothing happens. This is not for just one feature either nor is it a dead key on my keyboard. Another weird thing is it will often just "turn itself off" meaning out of no where and for no reason I can find the control bar will just disappear from Firefox around the YouTube player window. Then I will have to click around turning it on and off, enabling and disabling the extension even uninstalling it then reinstalling it (having the export of the settings as a backup makes this a lot less annoying after the first couple of times once I realized there was a backup and doing that would make this troubleshooting step hell of a lot less annoying.) Anyways - overall it has some awesome settings and features especially the quick list of shortcuts which makes life so much easier.

It works but everything became too big.
