by Onyx, 3 years agoUPDATE: Deepest apologies to you developer for my harh review earlier. I have deleted it . I tried what you said and it works now! 5 stars for doing exactly what i need and done well. Thank you!
1. Definitely give a description (currently none given) with pix
2. For the permissions thing, currently nothing is shown to the user. Extensions always do a pop-up asking the user if they want to give permission when it installs..it happens right on screen. Currently yours does not do that, which explains why it didnt work for me...when you told me to go to Manage and enable permissions...then it worked. So yea that definitely should change because 99% of the time users will not be aware to do that since extensions don't do what you currently require.
I will visit ur git page.

posted 3 years agoI am really sorry for this. The reason of useless may be you need give the addon permissions to instagram manually. You can see the example here(https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22173084/241606818-f6988f38-46fc-4c9c-a37e-35a25e71dbe4.png).
Besides,the code is completely open source and the source code was uploaded here(https://github.com/TheKonka/instagram-download-browser-extension). And I promise there are no malicious code.
It is my falut for less description and guidance. I will try fix this.Thanks you for your advice!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13456574, 11 days agoDid this extension used to have a take a snaphot or something that let me take a picture from a video on IG story? Like the story was a video but I wanted to save it as a picture instead of saving the video.

- Rated 4 out of 5by taseronify, a month agoHave been using this great tool for a long time. Worked great until v2.4.4. It has a memory leak which makes it grow to +4GB in memory. For rolling back to 2.4.2; I uninstalled then reinstalled. Thanks for developing this tool.Hope to see the new version.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18231176, a month agoIt`s giving me error when I'll try to unmute/mute video or story - "Sorry, we're having trouble playing this video."
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18964857, a month agoThe latest update is awful, it crashes my firefox all the time due to using up a lot of RAM. Can you reverse whatever changes were made

posted a month agoPlease accept my sincerest apologies for the terrible experience you’ve had with the latest version. I've already rolled back to the previous version 2.4.2. - Rated 1 out of 5by Hollywood76, a month agoSince the latest version of this add-on it is totally unuseable in Firefox 149.0.2. Am close to uninstall this addon once and for all. It has become worse and slow with every new update. Activating this add-on and watching IG stories, reels or pictures fills within minutes the whole memory (RAM) of my PC. 32GB installed and a useage of 99% totally slowing down the whole machine. Deactivating this addon and using the one that names also "Instagram Downloader" - everything is fine and works perfectly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberdyne, 5 months agoOn my mission to find an extension for every social media website I use so I can retire having the app installed onto my phone, this was the closest I got to making Instagram more usable via Firefox for Android. It gets you pretty close, but there is an issue with the website that's perhaps outside the scope of this extension — remember the position you scroll to when going back from an image on a profile. Otherwise though it does exactly as it says, and overall simplifies your ability to consume content.
