    Version 1.6.3

    Released Sep 22, 2026 - 34.83 KB
    Works with firefox 153.0 and later, android 153.0 and later
    Fixed: the player controls no longer pop up on their own while you watch.

    To stop YouTube pausing long videos, the extension refreshes YouTube's idle timer about once a minute. In 1.6.1 that refresh was aimed at the video player itself — and a pointer movement over the player is exactly what makes YouTube reveal the control bar. The result was the control bar, and the mouse cursor in fullscreen, flashing into view roughly every 60 seconds during playback.

    The refresh now targets the page only and never touches the player, so the controls stay hidden until you actually move the mouse. A redundant synthetic scroll event was removed at the same time.
    • No changes to how the "Continue watching?" dialog is detected or dismissed.
    • No changes to playback recovery.
    • No new permissions, and no data is collected.
    • An automated test now guards this behavior so it cannot silently return.

    Version 1.6.1

    Released Aug 13, 2026 - 34.59 KB
    Works with firefox 153.0 and later, android 153.0 and later
    • Videos you pause yourself are no longer restarted by the extension. This affected pausing with the mouse, the spacebar, and the k key.
    • The extension no longer resumes playback in tabs YouTube did not interrupt. A paused video in a background tab now stays paused.
    • Playback is only resumed when a "Continue watching?" dialog is actually on screen. Previously, a dialog dismissed earlier in the session could keep triggering it for the rest of the page's life.
    • Unsubscribe, Share, and other YouTube dialogs open normally again after an interruption has been handled.
    • The extension no longer stops working after several interruptions during a long session.

  • Version 1.6.0

    Released Apr 22, 2026 - 31.54 KB
    Works with firefox 147.0 and later, android 147.0 and later
    • Fixed Legitimate UI Blocking: Resolved an issue where user-initiated pop-ups (e.g., unsubscribe confirmations, delete prompts, and channel info) were being accidentally hidden.
    • Added User-Interaction Guard: Implemented a "cooldown" window that pauses the extension for 3 seconds after any user click, ensuring dialogs triggered by deliberate actions are preserved.
    • Sanitized CSS Selectors: Removed over-broad blanket rules from inject-styles.css that were hiding all confirmation and alert dialogs before context could be checked.
    • Strict Text Verification: Reconfigured the detection logic to make text-pattern matching (e.g., "Still watching?") a mandatory requirement before acting on any dialog.
    • Narrowed Button Selectors: Removed generic selectors like #confirm-button and primary CTA classes from the detection config to avoid false positives on standard YouTube buttons.
    • Safe Hiding Strategy: Replaced physical DOM removal with CSS-only hiding, ensuring that if a dialog is ever incorrectly targeted, it remains present in the DOM for potential recovery.
    • Code Validation: Verified all changes through a full linting and typecheck pass to ensure zero regressions in extension stability.
