Adds a small progress bar under Instagram videos and lets you click/drag to seek (scrub). Works on dynamically loaded videos.

I don't think it is possible to edit my review. Decided to include scripts that auto unmute.
I exported these from my userscript manager. ChatGPT made these so edit or modify the code however you want.
Make sure in Firefox that you click the security permission icon in the address bar to grant permission to autoplay sound and video. Then close and reopen Instagram.

Optionally if you want to run another addon this works to unmute and seems to work with this progress bar script. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/instagramaudioalwayson/?utm_content=addons-manager-reviews-link
Some of the above scripts will also work with this script but i think it depends on the order executed. I was using Auto-Unmute with this script and automute still worked.
Known bug. The mute icon isn't toggled so when sound is on the icon shows the muted state.
This script wasn't working to unmute for me. I then changed the preferences back. After checking most scripts on here some of them would unmute then no autoplay. Later i had AI chatgpt write me a script because i don't know how to go that far and only can modify them a little bit. So at first i forgot and didnt disable another scripts so the scripts didn't work so they was re-written 5 times. Then i found they all work but one and they each go about it a bit differently.
The second part of the Puzzle was clicking the permission icon in Firefox address bar and allowing auto-play of video and sound for Instagram. The only other way is global and i wasn't doing that. Normally the option is not there but when you run the script you get to add the permission for Instagram only. I can copy all the scripts to files and post them somewhere. The script has one bug that doesn't matter. The mute icon shows muted when not so it's backwards. Then after all this i found a Firefox add-on that works. InstagramAudioAlwaysOn experimental by Triazic.
Part of this script works the progress bar. This script can work with the other script at least one of them if executed in the right order and works with the addon. Let me know if i should upload those script. The first is basic then gradually get more advanced. The one script over-rides just about everything having to do with sound and autoplay the AI said so should be a backup in case the least advanced script stops working.
At this point you’ve basically got a little toolbox:
Auto-Unmute → clean + minimal.
Always Unmute → persistent but lets autoplay break if needed.
Force Unmute (Hard Mode) → bulletproof, but overrides everything.
Autoplay + Auto-Unmute → works now that your browser has Instagram whitelisted.
Actually after Instagram was whitelisted was when they all worked except one failure named Instagram Auto Unmute (Autoplay Friendly).
I will retest your script to be certain it wasn't just the whitelist problem.
