Does a Firefox equivalent to TubeSift Bookmarker exist?

I did a brief search of Firefox extensions, but couldn’t find anything. Most of the ad-related YouTube extensions seemed devoted to blocking ads, rather than archiving and cataloguing them.

My current workflow is as follows:

  • Right-click on the video player, select “Copy debug info”
  • Alt+Tab to a text editor
  • Ctrl+V the debug info into text editor
  • Ctrl+F for “addocid”
  • Ctrl+C the advertisment video id
  • Alt+Tab back to browser
  • Ctrl+N to open new browser window
  • Type “youtu.be/
  • Ctrl+V the video id
  • Wait a fraction of a second for the URL to redirect from youtu.be/[video_id] to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[video_id]&feature=youtu.be to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[video_id]
  • Ctrl+D to bookmark the video
  • Ctrl+W to close the browser window

I can usually do this in under 15 seconds, but I would like to find a faster (or completely automatic) method. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Update: I partially automated my workflow using AutoHotKey.

    You have a plethora of entertaining videos on youtube… but you like to watch ads? You are quiet peculiar my friend :-)

      Not regularly, but I like to have the option of rewatching an ad I’ve seen. I might be a bit of a data hoarder…
