The extensions take over the left/right buttons normally used to fast-forward/back the video. This can be annoying when the video moves back to the tag position.

Hi! Thanks for making this. I can't seem to get it to work properly. I have loaded the extension and activated it, but when I am testing it, I can't seem to get it to work. Are there any common problems or mistakes that I am making here? Thank you!
