A simple Firefox extension to pause all Youtube videos currently playing. Using just a single button you can pause multiple videos playing at the same time (e.g. after a session restore). It also removes the necessity to find the right tab to pause (e.g. when the phone is ringing). This even works over multiple Firefox windows.
To install the extension locally just run make debug (requires that you
have installed the
Extension Auto-Installer
by Wladimir Palant and it's configured to use the default port 8888 on the
local machine), or go to about:addons and select
Install Add-on From File... from the menu next to the add-on search bar.
The following features are currently on the wishlist:
- a list of all open Youtube videos to select one to play/pause
- a lock to prevent auto-play for newly opened Youtube videos
