Recent reviews
If this worked more reliably, it would be fantastic. The operation is currently inconsistent. Sometimes it works as advertised, muting and skipping. But then it stops working. At that point, opening add-ons in firefox, disabling this then turning it back on fixes it, temporarily.
I have not been able to identify yet the circumstances or conditions that trigger the failure.
Is there any hope that this nice add-on will be actively maintained?
