Youtube video pauses instantly after pressing play in private browsing #545

Closed emmaexe closed 2 years ago

emmaexe commented 2 years ago

Prerequisites

Expected Behavior

Youtube video in firefox private browsing plays normally.

Current Behavior

When watching a youtube video in private browsing, the video will pause instantly after playing it whenever the chameleon extension is enabled, even though youtube is whitelisted and the video plays normally in normal browsing mode. Maybe one second or so of the video plays normally before this behavior starts. Even when the extension is disabled via the button in the extension's toolbar button popup page, the behavior persists. The video only plays normally if the extension is disabled. If it is only forbidden from accessing private browsing, the behavior persists.

After messing around a little bit more with my extensions, it appears there was some kind of conflict with uBlock Origin, and after disabling and re-enabling both extensions this behavior stopped and I am able to watch youtube videos in private browsing again. I didn't notice it before because it only stopped after having both extensions disabled at the same time and then re-enabled, which I didnt try earlier.
