Tested as the only active extension? (incognito mode or another browser users):

Nope cause I know Youtube did it. It was working fine before.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the missing remaining-time display in Firefox 145 with the exported settings, then compare the behavior with the extension alone and inspect the reported console errors. Done means the remaining time is shown on an active video after the YouTube change.
