hello everyone, you may have seen that the developer of this add-on no longer maintains it, and it has stopped working. I forked it from his original source and made it work again. You can find that here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/re-freshview-for-youtube/ thank you to Mikhail Andrenkov for his work!
