7.1.0 BUG FIX UPDATE! Fixed an issue where a user could not save their options on the preferences page. Also getting ready for manifest v3. This should not affect the users of the extension at all, but manifest v3 is the next version of the WebExtensions API and will be current for Firefox soon.

7.0.0 Update! The extension will now ignore your key presses if you are typing in a text box! You can finally write comments with punctuation without having it mess with your speed settings. You can turn on the old behavior if you would like in the options page.

6.1.3 Update! Changed name and description to comply with Google's guidelines

6.1.2 UPDATE! Changed icon to comply with guidelines

6.1.1 UPDATE! Replaced Icon due to guidelines

Works for setting default speed and changing speed. It does however break the normal YT speed controls. I would prefer if it integrated with YT's own UI and still allow speed changes from. (I don't need custom speed settings, but if I cared about those, they would be nice to integrate there as well)
