I find myself watching allot via YouTube but the thing that annoys me the most is the stupid annotations and the insistence of auto playing the next video that might be related to what you're currently watching.  Is there a script or something for FF that I can add to stop this? I already have html5 video not playing automatically, but inside of YouTube this doesn't mater after the first video. I know that it can be turned of per session but I'm looking for a permanent fix, if such a thing exits. Thanks!

You can disable autoplay in the right corner.

Edit:

Rereading your post... I don't know if you have already turned off or not, but I've never seen another video after I had this thing off. It works wonders.

Click on your picture (top-right corner), and click the gear button. This will bring you to YouTube Account Settings. 

 

Hit Playback, and uncheck "Show annotations and in-video notifications"

Hehehe :p

 

Then, OP, try this:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtubes-annotations-no-more/

 

Or if you want something more extreme, this:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cleantube/

I'm not sure if it helps, but this was not signed in neither

I know about this option, however I am looking for a permanent solution, not just a per video.

      Last I checked, their "support clock" runs for five years. So EOL at end of 2028 for this model? Roll your own looks better all the time. I do understand that's not for everyone. I think the least they could do is offer you six months of free cloud so you could migrate to new hardware when the time comes. Assuming you stick with them as your hardware vendor, of course.

      Well, the interface is horrible. PST isn't fully functional. Can't properly import Thunderbird contacts into it. All that showed up are names.

      "all the way down" by 33 whole dollars. Amazing. You shouldn't have.

      If they make a portable version, I might give it a try, but I will always prefer hotkeys to that approach
