bat natively supports UTF-8 as well as UTF-16. For every other file encoding, you may need to convert to UTF-8 first because the encodings can typically not be auto-detected. You can iconv to do so. Example: if you have a PHP file in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding, you can call:
iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 my-file.php | bat
Note: you might have to use the -l/--language option if the syntax can not be auto-detected by bat.
Thank you for continuing! Since the add-on newer stopped working correctly on my oldest CentOS 7 Linux laptop, which I use to watch most YT at home, I didn't know whether it would work on newer FireFox versions… And I emailed you, asking for a copy of the .XPI file for personal use, as my latest ThinkPad didn't get it via Sync, because it was removed from here…
Then a couple of days ago, I noticed I suddenly had it installed on this… Funny thing, the old laptop says when visiting this page that the latest version requires later FireFox, but CentOS is a dead distro (except for some security updates); during the last month or so, I did run full package upgrades, and FireFox was included, but I doubt it was that much newer, but rather just some bugfixes… Yeah, it's 115.8.0esr (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Fedora (CentOS served as testing bed for Fedora), while this newest one has 124.0 (64-bit)…
So I think I would have to install the newer version manually past the package management (or try to build the latest Fedora source RPM to CentOS 7 — along with any dependencies, without breaking it) to get the latest version of this add-on. But it still works great on that version, so for now I don't feel it's worth the time…
I never saw you reply to my request… but my mailbox is too full, I got so much spam and other unwanted mail that I'm having a hard time keeping up with it… So I also tried to search how could I copy the installed extension from another profile (on another system, but that's not important) into another… I could have, of course just backed up my .mozilla/firefox/ folder, and tried my best, that way I could have got it back at any time…
But THANK YOU SO MUCH for making a new version available… Just one request: Please keep older, or at least the latest version available — either here with warning, or simply on your homepage with a big clear warning that it's at one's own risk to try it, and if it doesn't work, you warned them. There might always be cases where people want them anyway… And may get them working. <3

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18099698, 5 days agoThis is extremely useful and well done, I'm so glad you decided to return to Firefox and continue the development of the extension. Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12524597, 5 days agoThis makes YouTube brilliant!
I've been using Enhancer for years, and I'll never go back. - Rated 4 out of 5by peepeeman, 6 days agoSo this extension is AMAZING
problems:
there needs to be a way to get the old look of youtube back (optionally of course) such as the old player, thumbnails, square icons, etc.,
-
so i can hide shorts which is wonderful though the problem is I can't hide anything else like the sidebar, home page/feed, etc.,
IF these issues are resolved I will change my rating to 5 star thx - Rated 5 out of 5by vi, 7 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12982200, 14 days agowelcome back to firefox! I've missed the granular video speed option that no other extensions have. and especially just scrolling with the mouse wheel when hovering over the speed icon. love to see it
- Rated 4 out of 5by TehAlekzi, 14 days agoMust have when Google keeps proving their incompetence time and time again when it comes to the Youtube UI. Will change to 5/5 when "appearance" settings gets a toggle to hide the useless "most relevant" shelf from the subscriptions page (which is also absolutely buggered with "videos per row" set to more than the default 3) and the ability to change back to the old list format instead of the horrid looking grid.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18800162, 14 days agoYour Firefox extension is breaking the video quality and making it smaller in YouTube Shorts.

- Rated 4 out of 5by ducky4252, 17 days agoWelcome back to Firefox, amazing addon no other alternatives work as good as this, however i have only two issues; firstly please add ability to disable auto-dubbed audio-tracks i am about to lose my mind, secondly sometimes default playback speed doesn't work correctly other than these it is a perfect extension thank you the dev for making youtube watchable.
