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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14387918, 4 days agoAwesome! Does everything I need. Brightness, mirror, and many more!

- Rated 3 out of 5by I'm a Numbers Guy, 6 days agoVery satisfied with it but I've recently noticed that the controls don't show up when a web-page is refreshed (ctrl + R).
However, if I go from one youtube page to another one by a click then the controls show up but not if I refresh on that same page. - Rated 3 out of 5by voitek, 6 days agoEmbedded videos sometimes don't work and the extension doesn't apply chosen video quality lately.
- Rated 5 out of 5by GETNAKED, 6 days agoEmbeded videos are now working. Seriously, I can't use YouTube without this extension. The vanilla UI is hideous.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Yue Nox Yin, 8 days agoI don't know why, but sometimes it stops working on Waterfox and I have to clear my cookies. Not sure if it's an issue on Firefox.

- Rated 1 out of 5by CaptBlue, 12 days agoIt breaks embedded videos. Outside of youtube, you can no longer play youtube videos (like Reddit or other websites).
- Rated 2 out of 5by Taylor, 12 days agoAs of a couple weeks ago, embedded videos don't play and give an error "Playback on this device is not supported". Happens about 60-70% of the time. Turning off the add-on instantly fixes the issue.
- Rated 5 out of 5by sdfds, 13 days agoworks great!
the only bug I experience (very rare usecase I believe), steps:
• open live stream
• set speed to above 1 (x1.5 e.g.) via Enhancer speed button + mousewheel button hovered above
• press '0' @ numpad so the video starts from the very beginning
result:
speed set to x1 and can't be changed via Enhancer speed button + mousewheel button hovered above method anymore - Rated 5 out of 5by Ultimafreak, 14 days agoi bin using this addon for years but now that youtube have removed the dislike button on shorts maby this can be a new feature to add it back in this addon ? :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by AFriendlyBloke, 15 days agoYouTube has once again broken this extension and seems to have blocked it from working on the site.

- Rated 4 out of 5by The Undead Pumpkin, 16 days agoReally good! However, embedded videos stopped working as of recent.

Will update review after it's fixed. - Rated 5 out of 5by crypticnugget, 16 days ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19974419, 18 days agoMe encanta, pero desde hace un tiempo no puedo usarlo porque en webs con videos incrustados de Youtube me dice que la reproducción no es compatible con este dispositivo, pero si quito este addon entonces si funciona, a la espera del fix, gracias
- Rated 5 out of 5by thazer, 18 days agoI could never go back to not using this but unfortunately the feature to automatically switch to 1440p on yt doesnt work. The only thing that switches to 1440p is if you pick a different resolution for full screen lets say 2160p and also check the option to switch back to default after exiting fullscreen. If I just load a fresh video its set at 720p and doesnt change by itself at any point during playback unless I go in full screen.
And now that im doing tests, most resolutions just dont apply automatically either. Its only the 4k one that has been reliable over the years, which has been my default for a long time. - Rated 5 out of 5by Faaris, 19 days ago
