`Shift + Click` opens video in a new window on youtube itself

As stated here, Shift + Click is the default Firefox shortcut to open a link in a new window.
Alt + J is therefore the only option to use this extension, at least on my browser. Though I'm surprised no one nor you has encountered this issue before.
As a side note, a context menu entry to "Open link in a new siphon tab" or similar might be a very good idea to directly open links embedded on external websites with youtube siphon. See here for instance (disclaimer : I'm the author of this extension which I can gladly retire now that I discovered yours on HN 😁)
This add-on actually overrides that behavior when you're on a YouTube page. Like shown in the README, you have to enable permissions for the add-on to run on YouTube and once you've done that, refresh the page so that the content script is actually injected into a YouTube page.
Maybe I should add an instructions page that shows up once the add-on has been installed to clarify this 🤔

That is indeed a good idea, will look into it.
🤦Ahh I missed that part, sorry. I should have RTFM until the end...
OK, Shift+Click works after:
While youtube tab is active, in the addon setting, Always allow on www.youtube.com should be ticked.
Thanks for your reply d3vr
