what are some good alternatives for enhancer for youtube since it's not available in firefox addons anymore?
the only features about it that i care about are
- the volume booster
- disable autoplay
- prevent videos loaded in background tabs from automatically playing
- prevent videos loaded in the foreground tab from automatically playing as well
- completely stop videos instead of only preventing autoplay
- pause videos playing in background tabs when a video starts playing in the foreground tab
- automatically enable youtube's ‘theater mode’
- automatically expand the video player
- use the available space based on the viewport dimensions to expand the video player
- convert shorts
the adblocker i just use ublock origin for anyway and the dark mode i just use dark reader
officially the developer mentioned that the changes the youtube devs broke it completely in firefox and slightly broke it in chrome so he stopped it temporarily.

I hope @MaximeRF find the time/motivation to fix it. I just was reminded it'd gone when I went to use the boost volume feature.
I hope ad-blocking isn't the blocker, because uBlock Origin handles that (although I suppose uBO doesn't cover things like channel whitelisting).
but you can also get youtube channel whitelist for ublock origin to do that! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-channel-whitelist/
I thought you were talking about the volume boost thing at first and was really surprised.
FYI: I keep using it, it kind-of-works for me if I open the tab in the background and let it load (< 1min) before focusing on it. It also works if I'm not logged in (e.g.: in incognito mode).
