blocktube stopped working on firefox

[geextahslex]

Hi, blocktube stopped working on firefox since 9.9.24 There must have been a change on youtube side because also other addons needed update to work properly.

I mean it doesn't work when you are watching the video. It still works when you are on a youtube channel videos page

direct video doesn't work

youtube channel videos page does work

tracelog when attepting to block the channel on the video page:

Uncaught TypeError: document.getElementsByTagName(...)[0].data is undefined

Looks like the ytd-page-manager tag's first child element doesn't have any data attributes now.

Yeah hopefully there will be an update soon

This fixes it: https://github.com/amitbl/blocktube/pull/453

@josephcrowell Awesome :) How do I use/apply it? I looked for inject.js in my firefox folder but I can't find it.

Bump, can confirm this add-on has stopped working in waterfox (a fork of firefox) too for quite some time

Here you go folks: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-content-blocker/

This is a new version of this add on with a few fixes from various members added in.

[josephcrowell]

Before switching to the new plugin, export your config and uninstall the old plugin. Then import the config in the new plugin.

They can't be installed at the same time because their files conflict with each other.

@josephcrowell YouTube Content Blocker works flawless, thank you for that :) I left a comment on mozilla

The latest blocktube update 0.4.3 didn't fix anything, on the contrary, it completely removed the "block video" options. Nothing more to say at that point
