HTML5 YouTube Everywhere

This addon replaces the old Flash based <embed> tags with HTML5 iframes, including playlists and videos with monetarisation enabled.

Usage

Just install the addon and all embedded YouTube videos are now shown as HTML5. No need to disable Flash.

Note that many videos on YouTube are only available as H264 and thus will only play with newer versions of Firefox. Under windows set media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to true and under linux set gstreamer.enabled to true to enable H264 support.

To install

Visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/html5-youtube-everywhere/

Building

This addon was built with Mozillas JetPack SDK, so building it is as simple as running cfx xpi. To build it with support for Android, use cfx xpi --force-mobile.
