Face + Palm + me = FACEPALM*! My bad, you're right Ohnonot, isn't legacy and is now also installed on FF v57 too. Thanks again for sharing this, is definitely a convenient and cool way to go sans flashplayer.

* PS, Noscript made it over to v57 also.*

Nother babble update: Something cool I noticed about smtube, in it's setting you can choose to launch/open links in other media-players, such as mpv + youtube-dl. Still liking SMplayer, thing does have a lot of features, hey I'm liking it. Also did go ahead and get around to installing youtube-viewer, yep ... still a cool lil app and yet another way to get around FP'er. Kinda on par with the other methods here. It uses mpv + youtube-dl too, though a bit different and some interesting possibilities with it. Haven't explored it much as of yet. Could see using something like an alias to launch youtube-viewer with --no-video option so it only downloads audio or something. So it'd be a command-line option to make searching for and playing music on youtube(other streaming sites) easy and convenient. Either way, it's still seriously light and can use mpv as one of several media-players.

Also note, as per the youtube-dl's site, the thing supports over 1,000 streaming sites. Also to much extent haven't really gotten around to dorking with the how's of that either.
