Description

I have the volume settings set to show the volume boosters, but I still can't see them anywhere near the player; What am I doing wrong? Please explain this in simple terms; I am technologically challenged :) Btw, I'm using Firefox. Thanks in advance. -El ## Bug Report:
BUG:
HOW:
⚬ If a YouTube change started the bug, please copy the DOM you get (especially if the bug doesn't happen when you log out or on another computer)
⚬ Or did our last update start the bug?
⚬ ImprovedTube Version: __

2. To give us a chance to solve the bug: Can you ...?:
- ..deactivate other extensions running on YouTube? (or use an incognito window after activating this extension to run there / chrome://extensions details chrome://extensions/?id=bnomihfieiccainjcjblhegjgglakjdd )
- ..open the Browser-console, with the F12-Key, before/when the error occures? (then hopefully you'll see an error message in the console).
- ...copy the YouTube-DOM shown above the console (F12) in case YouTube is giving you a new verson. You can copying the root element <html> in the top after the bug happened:
(FireFox:)
- There are 2-3 different versions depending if you open a new window or clicked a link on youtube
