Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 15275833, 7 years agoWas running very well 5 stars for that, then downloaded Firefox 69, now it doesn't work on any YT Videos.
The << and >> functions work, it reverts it back or speeds it up by 10 secs at a time, so that function works.
But the - and + function to speed it or slow it down by fractions of a second no longer works.
Maybe it can be fixed, nice app that was working and worked well, but not now, just can't get it to work even after deleting it and reloading it.
Such a shame, it might work for other uses but no longer works for me.
**Stop press** **Stop press**. Just found the answer to the problem. It seems after downloading a Firefox add on called, "Audio Equalizer and Amplifier" and actively enabling it, (Ticking the enable box), about same time as the Firefox 69 update, this particular Video Speed Controller app won't work with that other audio app.
The other one enhances the audio nicely, and we all know what this app does.
So I'll have to chose when it is just audio commentary, speed it up, when it is music leave the speed alone. Just unticking the enable box in the "Audio Equalizer and Amplifier" app will fix it.
Back up to a 5 star rating then!, maybe not the fault of the developer, just conflicting programs that don't work well together. It may be Worth downloading the two by the developer just to see if this video speed app can be made with further code development to run no matter what other apps are installed in Firefox.
Of cause we should understand a developer can hardly check it against every other Firefox app for compatibility it would take years and years of testing due to the vast amount of apps on the Firefox add on site.
But possibly some helpful feedback has been given here none the less. Still a decent enough app to use, it works better than the built in YT one that is only in 0.25 secs not the 0.1 sec increments of the Video Speed Controller app, which is far more precise & handy.

- Rated 5 out of 5by AYSemkiv, 2 months agoLet's me speed up a long YouTube video so I can watch it faster. Reload the page you want to use it with in case you don't see it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Wyvern, 2 months agoThis worked perfectly for ages, but this past week it's caused youtube videos to get stuck on the "loading" screen. I know it's this extension because disabling it stops the issue. I hope you fix this!
(I'm using Firefox on Windows 11) - Rated 4 out of 5by netjeff, 3 months agoThis was amazing several years ago, but starting to break down because original author (codebicycle) no longer has time to maintain. I've switched to Speeder, which is a revival of this original.

- Rated 5 out of 5by warnmar10, 3 months agoWorks flawlessly for me. I run Firefox on Ubuntu. It also worked well for me on Windows and Firefox before I switched to Linux.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19749804, 5 months agoI absolutely love this addon/extension for Chrome, but when added to Firefox, MANY features of Firefox have become unusable. Even things like ctr+f to find text, maybe options that are available when you right click a page on your mouse. PLEASE FIX!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dain, 5 months agoI can't speak to how it works on other sites, but my teacher added additional videos to a Canvas post that had no ability to fast forward and this is saving me. It can be a bit janky but it's nothing I didn't expect from an extension adding a non-native feature. (Though, edit, the clunkiness went away once I used the keyboard shortcuts!)

- Rated 2 out of 5by Leo, 6 months agoWorks, but really slows down loading on certain websites (like Reddit) making them annoying to use. Will be uninstalling.
- Rated 3 out of 5by ShadowDemon009, 8 months agoSeems to work good most of the time; but on Youtube, sometimes it will be unresponsive, so I can't change the speed of the video. I have tried disabling all adblockers in case they were interfering, but they don't seem to be the problem. This has only occurred on Youtube so far.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Josh, 9 months agoPleaaaaaaase fix compatibility with Paramount Plus. For some reason, only on that website, I cannot hide the UI. Pressing the hotkey will make it go away for a split second, and then immediately return.
