Add-on summary

Notice YouTooltip is now using Manifest V3. In Manifest V3, you will have to manually grant YouTooltip permission to run on webpages. You may either grant access to all sites, only individual sites, or only when clicking on the toolbar button. Versions using Manifest V2 (1.4.0 and earlier) have such permissions granted on install, and you do not need to do anything.

Manifest V3 is only supported on Firefox 109 and later. If you are using an older version of Firefox then you will need to install an older YouTooltip version from the version history page.
