Hi Jagick,

You rated 2 stars about seeing the video not on top of the dark layer.

Please do not use the review page as a support forum. I am happy to help you at https://www.turnoffthelights.com/support

Have you tried to reset the Turn Off the Lights settings? That will make sure you are a fresh user with default settings.
1. Open the Turn Off the Lights Options page
2. Click on the Advanced Options tab. Scroll to the bottom of the web page, and click on the big button "Reset the Turn Off the Lights settings
3. Restart your Firefox web browser

Also, check you are using the latest Turn Off the Lights Firefox extension version. And try to disable the other Firefox extensions you are using in the background. That should solve this issue.

Thanks,

Worked well for many months. When it suddenly stopped working, the developer was very responsive and provided a fix within a day. It now works fine again.

Hello! The extension stopped working in Mozilla 133.0 x64, it seems after the last browser update. Please fix it. I give a rating of 5 for the past work and I hope for the future one too. I couldn’t write to you on the site; it gives me some kind of error.

Только что заработало (через сутки), спасибо! Just worked (in a day), thank you!

Simple and effective extension that I did not knew I needed before finding it. Unfortunately it is not possible to set it to automatically activate. With no auto activation, I have little to no use of this and will uninstall.

Hi Kaj,

You rated 2 stars for not automatically activating it. However, you can customize the Turn Off the Lights Firefox extension, and yes you have the option to set the dimmer automatically when to a certain time or play button click. And more:

En solid udvidelse. Virker desværre ikke på Max (tjek din streamingstjeneste) - men rigtig godt på YouTube og lignende services.

Kunne godt bruge en frisk opdatering, i ny og næ - så kan du støtte projektet finansielt, så vil jeg opfordre dig til det.

I like the idea behind this extension. I listen to background music while working and I get very easily distracted by the recommended videos so I wanted a way of hiding them. Although this extension did darken the area around the video, I found it wasn't dark enough and would like a way of deciding how dark it gets. Otherwise it's very handy.

Edit:
I didn't realise there was an option to set the opacity. I only tried to find options by right clicking the extension. Changed to 5 stars, very helpful extension.

Hi d_cantwell,

Thank you for your 4 stars review. And using the Turn Off the Lights Firefox extension!

In the Turn Off the Lights Welcome Guide I explain this feature. There are many ways to set the dark layer to 100% black. You can do that in the Turn Off the Lights Options page; Or in the double-click on the gray lamp button, that will open the mini settings panel. See this YouTube video tutorial:

Used to love this add-on years ago, but now no matter what settings I try, and no matter what site I go to, the video player is dimmed along with the rest of the sites making it impossible to access video controls. This wasn't always the case years back.
