Description

Hi!

i used to have a firefox-addon for YouTube, which allowed me to scroll while hovering over a tool-tip below the video player, in order to increase or decrease video speed.

I cant find the old add-on (or maybe you updated while i didnt) and that was pretty much the only feature i used. So if the feature is still there, can you help me locate it? Cant find it in the player-settings under "extra buttons below the player", or consider adding it, as its a great QOL-feature.

Best Regards

Research direction

Start by locating the extension's playback-speed controls and the player settings for extra buttons, then check whether scroll input over a speed-related tooltip is already supported. Done means either documenting where the existing feature is enabled or adding the requested hover-and-scroll speed adjustment with behavior that can be verified in the YouTube player.
