Hmm, OK Mozilla changes has broken 115 esr add-ons?
Maybe they will update the esr, but dud not the last update 115.29.0esr.
Could there be a version on your github with your updates I could use that would allow the addon to update?
Thanks for looking into this.
p.s. my other addons are updating ok so far.
2025-10-24 Update.
Latest extension 1.29.0 also not updating. Still no error msg on update. Thinks its updated it, but re-checking updates puts it back in the update list. Guess its the same problem with Firefox 115.29.0 esr (64-bit) version *since updated from 115.28.0 used previously.
Any update on a possible fix please?

I'm using Firefox 115.28.0 ESR for Windows. I'm getting an error...
I'm using 1.28.0. "Available Updates" will now show 1.28.1 but won't install. No error msg.
Exported settings and Uninstalled 1.28.0.
Install latest version 1.28.1; Mozilla says file is corrupt. File: youtube_enhancer_vc-1.28.1.xpi.
CRC32 = df3dda8d.
Github .zip same error on install. SHA-256 verified the same.
Reinstalled 1.28.0 OK but restoring settings failed to work. No error msg.
The "Available Updates" will now show 1.28.1 again but won't install. No error msg.
I’m using Windows7, so it’s Firefox 115.28.0 ESR for me.
Guess it’ll be Linux after that because Win10/11...omg, what have they done!
Thanks for replying anyway.

Developer response
posted 2 months agoUpdate the version of your browser, I tested with Firefox 115.28.0 ESR and had the corrupt install message then I updated the browser to 140.3.1 ESR and it worked fine. If this isn't an option I'll have to look into what is causing the install file to appear as corrupt for that version.
Edit: It is weird to me that this issue occurred. When I have time I'll try to test it all that changed from 1.28.0 to 1.28.1 was one bug fix nothing major changed so I'm confused as to what caused this to happen.
Edit (2025-10-24):
I’ve identified the issue, but unfortunately it isn’t something I can fix. Starting November 3rd, 2025, developers are required to disclose data collection practices using the 'browser_specific_settings.gecko.data_collection_permissions' key in the extension manifest.
Older versions of Firefox do not support this key. For example, when testing the extension on Firefox 115.29.0 ESR, the following error appeared:
Reading manifest: Error processing browser_specific_settings.gecko: Unexpected property "data_collection_permissions"
Edit (2025-11-06): Yes maybe they will update it but for now the addon won't work because it conforms to the new requirement.
I would need to release a version without this updated manifest value. Releases are automated so I would have to figure out a way to add that in. For now you can download the latest release from the Github and extract it then edit the manifest file to remove the unrecognized "data_collection_permissions" section
