Simon,
You are truly a scholar and a gentleman. First time any developer on the Firefox Add-On board actually responded to my review; but I am glad you are "alive" and came out of slumber to patch this. It is now beautiful and YouTube has a bad habit of recommending videos I have already watched MONTHS ago. Your GRAY overlay with WATCHED text is AWESOME; because I code while I listen \ watch YouTube, so this makes it easier for me to avoid realizing I am re-watching something TWO minutes in. We MUST stop these YouTube creators from dipping 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100X for the same videos, hahaha... Thank you and now all we need is a way to auto-sync history across all our machines with a single account. I am too lazy for Manual Export\Import.... FIVE STARS !!!

Developer needs to update this add-on; but it is possible they have not tested it recently with Firefox, since it has not been updated for over a year. It is an AWESOME idea; but does not work correctly with Firefox 74.0. All thumbnails appear with a grey overlay above it with the text WATCHED in some cases. It is an obvious alignment \ overlay issue; so most likely YouTube "broke" it and this needs to be fixed ASAP. If this is fixed, then I will upgrade to FIVE stars; because it is needed, so now I am off to find another add-on.

Regarding your update with the question about syncing: the history should automatically be synced across computers as long as they are all logged into the same Youtube account.
