Not here, not in PM, NM, 32-bit, 64-bit... But installing userscript turbolauncher.js inside the XPI in Greasemonkey, then it works in both private and non-private windows. Of course I removed the XPI from add-ons list. No issue with the player itself.

Everything works for me. The userscript Vorapis.user.js, the script patcher.user.js from the webextension, the webextension Project_VORAPIS_OBT_Test_0.8.10.26_(1727286007541).zip itself, the launcher webextension v3_get_old_youtube_layout-1.0.8.xpi and the legacy extension turbolauncher.xpi. The only issue I have is the missing suggestions in the YT search box while typing in UXP browsers.

The main script inside the legacy extension turbolauncher.xpi.

I intentionally block the suggestions via uMatrix.

Are you blocking "suggestqueries-clients6.youtube.com" or similar?  Perhaps at a non-browser DNS or router level?

Long story short. I have already identified the cause of the issue. It is an old bug already fixed in more recent Firefox versions, identified by @roytam1 who will try to fix it if possible.

Under what combination of added extensions/scripts?

My bare-bones Serpent 52 (only mod is replacing the "dragon" icon) *works* as far as YouTube search box suggestions.

Though my Serpent 52 is intentionally stuck at 2023-07-31.  I cite this in case THAT may be the issue, that newer versions of Serpent 52 may have accidentally broken YouTube search box suggestions.

VORAPIS V3 in UXP browsers

I'm assuming that you tested in Serpent 52 also?  Or just in New Moon?

You didn't follow the discussion. The search box issue only appears when using the VORAPIS V3 frontend and not the original YT interface.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

I may dig deeper tomorrow.  I do admit that I have not (yet?) tried vorapis.

 

edit - I kind of have no use to YouTube (or any type of audio/video streaming) in UXP or even modern Mozilla.

But yeah, I suppose vorapis "might" change that.    Can't claim to have read enough here to make me see it as a godsend.

I guess I'd have to try it for myself to really witness any benefits (or non-benefits).

Under Windows XP 32-bit, the VORAPIS V3 scipt and the corresponding extensions work in New Moon 28, Serpent 52 and Mypal 68. I haven't tested so far other browsers.

What a bunch of useless w*****s!

@NotHereToPlayGames
You can save yourself the trouble and wasted time and download the patched VORAPIS V3 user script from my drive if you'll bother with it (I won't keep it updated though), basically the only difference compared to original linked at https://vorapis.pages.dev/product/v3/game_service/patcher/get_latest_client is that I removed referrerPolicy and mode parameters from fetch calls wherever they're set to strict-origin-when-cross-origin and cors respectively. They're supposed to be default behaviors of fetch anyway and UXP doesn't understand strict-origin-when-cross-origin. cors for mode appears to be OK.

The player works, search box suggestions work and dislike count works as well! As at least some of us know, the latter comes from 3rd party Return YouTube Dislike.

Thanks, just downloaded.

I fully disclose and admit right up front that I am SKEPTIC that this VORAPIS script is really worth the hassle.  But I won't mind being proven wrong, lol.

Just upgraded my bare-bones Serpent 52 to the latest-and-greatest.  I am still using x86 Serpent 52 on an x64 machine, which I have recently discovered is not exactly ideal.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

This is Serpent 52 playing one YouTube tab without VORAPIS.  Will take me a little while to get the profile up-and-running with VORAPIS for a comparison.

Again, I am skeptic and admit that fully right up front.  But I am also a no gut feelings sort of guy and FOLLOW THE NUMBERS.  Let's see what those NUMBERS tell us.

I don't/can't use New Moon to watch Youtube videos anyway.

AGREED!  I don't use any UXP browser for YouTube.  But I'm bored this morning so I'll run a few comparisons just to pass the time.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

First video stopped after a few seconds with an error.  And always always always crashes for THIS video (anywhere between 30 to 40 second mark)  --  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiW7NbkhbJ0&list=PL2ZucxOJLzfVRTHxcWt5TjQ2ZCRNjc6TM&index=1

But every video since seems to be working with much less CPU and RAM.  So yeah, I'll keep it ARCHIVED.  But still will "most likely" not be using UXP for YouTube.  But yes, VORAPIS is a "keeper" for those that do YT on UXP.

Aside from the CRASH and unknown if that CRASH will be an "everyday occurrence".  Other videos play five seconds or so THEN START ALL OVER AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING, playing those five seconds over again and then continuing.

Nope, not enough for me to be using this as my "default".
