What is Youtube AutoCloser?
Youtube AutoCloser is a Firefox add-on that automatically closes the current Youtube tab at the end of videos. It includes two awesome features: PlaylistTab and Stop Procrastinate. With PlaylistTab, you can open multiple videos in tabs and the extension will close the current video tab and skip to the next one. The Stop Procrastinate feature helps you avoid wasting time by closing the Youtube tab after watching a single video. Support the developer by donating via PayPal.

A great idea. For convenience, it needs a toolbar icon so that end users can disable the feature without stepping away from the YouTube page. Possibly bugged. I often find that second playback of a video does not lead to closure. Amongst the videos tested, with Waterfox 56.2.3 on FreeBSD: https://youtu.be/C177Mr9s4Mw?t=455
