Firefox

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?

P.S. As for why I want to do this, I like to have the option of rewatching or referencing an interesting or funny ad at a later date. Most ads are unlisted videos, which makes them nigh impossible to look up.

Update: I partially automated my workflow using AutoHotKey.
