2024-10-20	Beauleau	how about making an app that stops the stupid player from popping up every time you close it!!
2024-10-17	ЯромиR	After receiving update, repeating message displays, asking new permission "block any content" to be confirmed. Author's home page does not provide any information about the reason for such activity, neither give any option to write the questions about it. There more, after I rejected to confirm such permission, it repeatedly pops out with the same annoyance. I've disabled the extension until clear explain will be provided. ... [update 2024-10-18] Quick and careful response, great Thanks! Now I have no doubts, everything is nice and clear.
2024-09-26	Firefox user 18612906	The popout player doesn't show up over other tabs or windows so it's basicly useless. However i have found that mozila already has an inbuilt popout player called picture-in-picture but it's kinda unintuitive to reach for some reason. You can double right click or shift right click on a youtube video to bypass youtube's fancy right click menu and reach mozila's right click menu. In mozila's menu you will have an option that saies something along the lines of "watch with picture-in-picture", idk exactly how it would be in english cuz my menu is in romanian so i'm having to translate.

2023-09-24	Firefox user 16002417	Great stuff. It would be good if on selecting the popout player the windows minimizes to the task bar.

2022-10-28	Firefox user 10206391	Extension does exactly what Firefox USED TO DO AUTOMATICALLY. Currently, Firefox "Pop-Out" video player doesn't work on sites other than YouTube. So, effectively, virtually useless. This disabling of former Firefox features is, of course, because of the internet wide and Worldwide software plague of making NEW versions of things WORSE than the versions they replace (I'm looking at you, Windows-everything-since-Windows 7.

2022-06-17	Michael Alimax AL	Wow amazing !! Finally I found the Desktop version of the PopUp Player YouTube Add-ons. I've been a fan of Mozilla Firefox since its inception. Although these add-ons are not at the very top of the search for add-ons, but after I use them they work very well as expected. Of course there are a few configurations that must be adjusted to suit your needs. Its name is YouTube Popout Player (not Popup Player) but the purpose and function is the same, namely being able to play the YouTube Mini Player flying over anywhere in Windows. Thank you very much for the creator of these add-ons as well as Software Developers, it is really very useful. Love From 🇮🇩 Indonesia.
