Likewise - mine stopped working today after less than a month.

The same problem.

Same. It seems Firefox disables the extensions? See how two of my extensions are grayed out, although they are enabled...

Same. The extension is greyed out.

I am sorry, but I have been unable to replicate the extension not working in Firefox. Could you please make a note of what kind of ad it was when it does not work? Ads with a skip button should work.

About the extension being greyed out, that is unrelated. The extension only requests access for YouTube, so it is rightly greyed out when you are on any other site. When you are on YouTube, it should say "can always read and change data on this site".

Thanks @Ekipogh. This looks right to me. The extension is greyed out because there is no click action there. It correctly says the extension can read and change data on this site.

A fix for recent Youtube changes has been released. Please note that the greyed out look is normal. It is going through Chrome review and will go out as soon as that's done. Please look out for version 2.0.2.
