TubeStop reviews requested

TubeStop was discontinued on December 25, 2012, and Firefox’s newly-introduced controls for managing auto-playing videos have since made it obsolete.

I’ve finally uploaded TubeStop to Mozilla Add-ons, but it can’t be brought out of the sandbox (protected area for untrusted extensions) until it has some reviews and undergoes an editor approval process. If you use TubeStop and find it useful, I’d appreciate it if you’d write a quick review of it over at the Mozilla Addons page for TubeStop so that I can get that process started.

    I wrote a review a few days ago but it hasn’t shown up yet. Is this normal or should I write a new one?

    Marika: That’s normal; they take a while to be approved by the editors before they appear.

    Christopher,

    There is a new youtube update and apparently tubestop is no longer working. Can you get around this? Are you planning on a update to tubestop?

    The auto starting of videos is seriously annoying. Often I open multiple tabbed videos at once and then have to go through and pause them to watch them one at a time. =/

    Jason: Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve updated the extension, and until it gets approved by Mozilla Add-ons, you can download it at http://www.chrisfinke.com/addons/tubestop/

    I love this extension, but I noticed it doesn’t work when viewing a youtube user’s channel, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/user/AskACholaTV

    I wonder what the difference is?

    It was a GREAT addon to Youtube, but now that Youtube has modified the way you watch videos, TubeStop has stopped working….

    Hope your working on an updated version! :D
