Describe the issue

When using this extension with Firefox 118.0.2 on Windows 11 on youtube, a light green circular play icon belonging to this extension appears at the right-side gutter of the URL bar. I often use the browser with quite narrow windows, so I prefer not to waste horizontal screen area on something that (at least for me) is a fire-and-forget extension that does its job in the background. How about an option to remove this icon from the URL bar?

Hey @amaurea! Thank you for contributing to my extension. Do you also like to sponsor this project?

Thanks for this suggestion. I will look into to it, but consider the following thinks:

• In FF when using page-actions instead of browser-actions in the manifest file to declare where to function FF places the icon in the URL bar;
• This extension needs the popup for functionality;
• fire-and-forget is not a good idea, as some of the core functions are turned off on installation (these are the function to disable YT autoplay & auto click on 18+ warnings in playlists if logged in ), so you need to turn them on yourself.

I will take a look in how to still use page-actions and not have the icon in the URL bar.

edit: As soon as Firefox fully supports the "Manifest v3" I can make my extension also support it, which makes it easier to fulfill your request.
