★☆☆☆☆ Max Yudin · 19 Feb 2026 · v1.1.1In fact, it doesn't add anything. Restart the tab Ctrl+Shift+R, restart Firefox with different User Profiles with or without other add-ons, and finally restart the whole machine. There is no additional cost to what we currently have. And we have absolutely nothing. This add-on does nothing at all.

★★★☆☆ Cherwally · 21 Nov 2025 · v1.1.1* The optional permissions is breaking the FB reels page. The reels controls/buttons (like, share, messages, more options) are vanishing then this optional permission is active. Disabling the optional permission seems to fix (buttons are showing again) after a page refresh. *Also when activating this addon from contextual makes those buttons vanish again. Problem occurs on Mercury 115.11.0esr (64-bit) (a fork of Firefox) & Win 10

★☆☆☆☆ Firefox user 19475396 · 27 Oct 2025 · v1.1.1Very erratic. Volume jumps to max a lot even when you have it set to a low setting. Clicking on video to pause requires two clicks when using this addon when it should only need one.

★☆☆☆☆ Olivier · 9 Jun 2025 · v1.1.0Qu'est ce que ca veut dire "Mellowtel partage votre bande passante ?" C'est quoi cette fonction cachée qui tourne en tache de fond ?Developer reply · 10 Jun 2025Merci d'avoir partagé vos réflexions. Je comprends vos préoccupations et je tiens à vous rassurer sur la confidentialité et la transparence de Mellowtel. Mellowtel est une plateforme open-source axée sur la confidentialité, qui aide les développeurs à maintenir et améliorer leurs services en permettant aux utilisateurs de partager volontairement une petite portion de leur bande passante internet inutilisée. Cela est pleinement expliqué lors du processus d'installation, et cette fonctionnalité est basée sur le principe de l'opt-in, ce qui signifie que les utilisateurs doivent explicitement choisir de participer s'ils souhaitent soutenir le développeur, et ils peuvent à tout moment se désinscrire ou ajuster leurs paramètres. Il est important de noter que Mellowtel garantit l'anonymat des utilisateurs et qu'aucune donnée personnelle n'est partagée. Je comprends que le concept de partage de bande passante puisse susciter des interrogations, et je vous encourage à consulter le code open-source de Mellowtel pour une transparence totale. Si vous avez des préoccupations ou des questions spécifiques, n'hésitez pas à me contacter, je serai heureux de vous fournir des éclaircissements supplémentaires.

★★★★☆ Andre Bell · 18 May 2025 · v1.1.0Works perfectly nearly 100% of the time. Sometimes the controls do not show unless the page is refreshed. Otherwise this returns video controls I wish FB included natively. Nearly 5-stars. There is a 3rd-party add-on included. Is possible to opt-out and still use the add-on. 5-stars for being considerate!

★★★★☆ Win32User · 30 Jun 2024 · v1.0.1Works for most videos. Stories doesn't work. Also for those who are concerned about privacy, be aware of Mellowtel that this addon loads for all urls.
