Stopped working for whatever reason. Firefox, Windows 10

Hi, sorry I'm not tech-savvy at all, wanted to ask the question on discord but it says the invite-link no longer works...

A few weeks ago some YouTube browser extensions stopped working, both at the same time. SponsorBlock and Return Dislikes. ‘Enhancer for Youtube’ works though.

I tried to reinstall the extensions but it didn’t help.
I didn’t install any new extensions for the past years. I have only Ublock, translators, privacy badger, decentraleyes extensions.

I really don’t want to reinstall the browser itself (Firefox, win10), because I will have to manually restore all of my data. I know there’s a sync option but the last time I tried it, it doesn’t sync everything, I had to spend hours manually restoring a lot of the stuff, so I hate to reinstall this browser.
Is there anything else I can try to do? What can even be the reason of these two extensions’ failure?

I have the exact same issue with sponsorblock, segments are no longer skipped automatically, even thought i can see the timestamps.

Also running Firefox version 132.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10 22H2

Try disabling "Enhancer for Youtube", it's probably the same incompatibility reported in #2138 after a recent update to that plugin.

If that works to fix your issue, it might be a few days before it's resolved. Keep the plugin disabled for a bit to work around it until a patch fixes the issue.

Yep, disabling enhancer for youtube does solve the issue. But checking #2138 and reading what TheDoubleD commented, disabling autoplay does not solve the issue for me, as i already had that option unmarked.

Is there a github repo or any way to report this issue to the Enhancer For Youtube developer? i can only find the extension website, but there isn't anything usefull there.

It also work if you reload the video page with cache clean control + f5

happening with brave as well, not just windows.
hard refresh also works for me. or in settings set Sponsor to Disable then back to Auto Skip then normal refresh

or in settings set Sponsor to Disable then back to Auto Skip then normal refresh

This only works for me until I restarted Firefox. So every restart I have to do this again.

i meant those are my workarounds that i keep doing. they don't resolve the issue permanently

I love FOSS and GitHub - had exactly the same issue and exactly - disabling that extension solved the problem. I wish "Enhancer for Youtube" would at least have some public forum...

I reached to the author of "Enhancer for Youtube" and got this reply:

Hi,
The latest update (version 2.0.128) has caused this issue so I have disabled it
and uploaded a new version but it takes ages to get reviewed by the Mozilla team
and unfortunately until it gets approved people like you with version 2.0.128
installed suffer from bugs... It was a major update so it has introduced bug
unfortunately.

I suggest you to uninstall the version you have and reinstall the version
2.0.126.1 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/
