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.

    • The Synology DS923+ is down to $610 just for today on Newegg

      By Steven P. · Posted

      The Synology DS923+ is down to $610 just for today on Newegg by Steven Parker Right now on Newegg, and only for today (June 26) you can find the Synology DS923+ discounted all the way down to $609.99 when using a coupon during checkout, down from it's normal $642.99 price. Although we haven't reviewed the DS923+ on Neowin, we have seen Synology before and rated it quite highly. Besides, the DS1522 even has the same AMD R1600 CPU. Some people would consider Synology homelab NAS equipment the "gold standard", and as such, competitors strive to do as good, at least in regard to the Operating System, DSM, which ticks all the boxes for amateurs, professionals and small business users for its inclusion of mobile apps for core app services such as Surveillance Station, and more. Here are the most important specifications: Synology DS923+ CPU AMD Ryzen R1600 2-core 2.6 (base) / 3.1 (turbo) GHz Graphics No Memory 4 GB DDR4 SODIMM, maximum 32 GB (16 GB x 2) Disk Capacity 72 TB (18TB x 4) RAID Level RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD + SHR (Synology Hybrid RAID) Network 2 x RJ-45 1 GbE Internal storage 2 x M.2 2280 NVMe Slot USB Ports 1 x USB 3.2 (5 Gbps) HDMI 1 x Expansion 1 x eSATA 1 x Gen3 x2 network upgrade slot Size (H/W/D) 166 mm x 199 mm x 223 mm Weight 2.24 kg Power 35.51 W (Access) 11.52 W (HDD Hibernation) What's in the box? Main Unit X 1 Accessory Pack X 1 AC Power Adapter X 1 AC Power Cord X 1 RJ-45 LAN Cable X 2 Quick Installation Guide X 1 You may notice that the DS923+ does not have integrated graphics, which is a step down from earlier Intel-based models that did include an iGPU. However, even this year's model (the DS925+) does not include an iGPU with its slightly newer AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B CPU, but also unhelpfully locks down what you can use in it. All 2025 models require hardware from Synology's own compatibility list, this currently does not affect the DS923+. In addition you are only getting dual 1 GB Ethernet with the DS923+, so you may need to factor in the cost of adding the 10 GbE PCIe network card, which sells for $110.99 on Newegg. Ultimately, deciding on a NAS device comes to down to your individual requirements. For example, more bays is not always better, especially once you factor in the price of hard drives. Those with more modest storage requirements may be better off with a 2-bay device. From my personal experience, DSM 7.2 is great, it's so great that I have installed it on my TerraMaster F4-424 Max. Finally, and perhaps more importantly many tinkerers would prefer building their own server which is definitely a cheaper option, but without the polish of a dedicated NAS. If you have no need to transcode video on the fly and want a four bay NAS device, then the DS923+ is a great solution for every other use case and I can highly recommend it. Synology DS923+ for $609.99 on Newegg (was $642.99) Enter coupon code SACET2369 for above price during checkout

      I don't think it's childish, but I do think it would be ineffective. If I was addicted to social media I would just disable the extension when I wanted to visit the certain sites.

      Not what I was expecting. I thought it was going to add ray tracing to games that don't support it or something lol.

      Looks less buggy than FC25. I still don't understand how they managed to release that game.
