This is related to #7 and #1. Here you can find the .zip file that needs to be uploaded to the Mozilla Dev Panel and then converted into an .xpi file which can be used for Firefox.

Description:

Currently, the Clear Space extension uses a third-party website (example.com) to redirect users away from YouTube Shorts.

The dedicated static website would be very simple. It would simply display a message to the user explaining that they have been redirected away from YouTube Shorts, and provide them with a link to continue to their original destination.

Tasks

• Create a simple static website with a message explaining that the user has been redirected away from YouTube Shorts, and a link to continue to their original destination.

• Update the Clear Space extension to redirect users to the dedicated static website instead of example.com.

Clear Space is currently only available for the Chrome browser. adding support for the Firefox browser can benefit more users with Clear Space.

Here are some specific tasks that need to be completed to add Firefox support:

• Update the Clear Space manifest file to include Firefox as a supported browser.
• Implement the necessary changes to the Clear Space code to work with Firefox.

Issue :

The extension's shorts tab removal feature is removing the subscriptions tab from the DOM each time when the page is reloaded.

Current Behaviour

Expected Behaviour

Solution

• In the scripts/main.js file, Add conditional checking to confirm that element will be shorts Tab from the Youtube DOM.
• Specifying Aria-label / title to the navItems[1] will solve the bug.
