Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later
Media URL Timestamper - automatically inserts the current timestamp of the YouTube/Twitch video you’re watching and updates it in the history in case you accidentally close/navigate away from the page or go to a different time in the video
Feedbro - RSS reader with filtering capabilities
Redirector - auto-redirect specific URLs (for example, changing a YouTube Shorts url into a regular one, or changing Reddit links to always go to Old Reddit)
Undo Close Tab Button - allows you to restore recently closed tabs including the tab’s history in the back button (max amount = browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo)
Violentmonkey - using userscripts that allow you to change things on websites.
/^(Key)?(End|I|O)|(Digit|Numpad)\d$/
instead of /^(?:Digit|Numpad)\d$/
(thanks to this post), to also disable the End/I/O keys in addition to the number keys.*.youtube.com/*
then put *://*.youtube.com/*
in the “@match rules” line in the settings)YouTube Comment Reader - allows you to search through the comments of a video (by clicking on the addon in the Extension menu and then clicking on the “YouTube Comment Reader” at the top or the “X Comments” at the bottom of the tooltip)
Page Shadow - allows you to use dark and light themes on sites that don’t have the option to change it.
And if you’re like me and you find that some YT videos feel too slow but 1.25x is too fast, then you can use Enhancer for YouTube’s “Playback speed” feature to have smaller speed steps. Then you can hold ctrl and use the scrollwheel (while over the video) to change the video’s speed by the amount you chose (I use 0.05 speed variation, mostly changing to 1.05x or 1.10x)
For the more advanced, you can also mess around with the userChrome.css file. To create it open a text editor and save the file as userChrome.css in the \Chrome folder in your Firefox profile folder* (make sure to restart Firefox to apply the changes)
To enable the file, enter about:config in the address bar, then accept the warning if it appears. Search for toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
and double-click it to set it to true
.
*enter about:support
in the address bar, or click on the Help menu > More Troubleshooting Information, then scroll to the Profile Folder line and click on Open Folder. Usually it’s C:\Users\~USERNAME~\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\~PROFILENAME~
*Note: the first 2 lines about tab height might not work if you don’t have the Playing/Muted text line in tabs disabled. To disable that line go to about:config, search for browser.tabs.secondaryTextUnsupportedLocales
, and add ,en
(or the relevant language that you’re using in your system) at the end of the value for it then click Enter and restart Firefox to apply the change.

On the humorous side:
Not sure if they all fit entirely but:
Especially for sleeping issues, but also for eye strain, I recommend using a program like flux (for a computer) that allows you to set the color temperature for the day and the gradually lower it further at evening and night. This along with dimming or using different lower temperature lightbulbs in the evening/night (not being exposed to bright/florescent lights) really helped me with falling asleep.
edit: also, lowering the brightness on the monitor itself (mine is set to 27) and in the graphics card control panel (39 for me), and then manually lowering it further in the evening/night in the control panel (25>15>9>0 is how I do it)
Am I understanding correctly that a memory leak has been fixed? Though it says that it relates specifically to “Animation timelines”, so does it mean that the fix only affects the (small?) portion of the memory that’s been used by that feature? Or any memory that should get freed but wasn’t previously?
