This is an update to my review [see below] from 2 years ago.

Yes - this is still the best YouTube video down-loader available - anywhere!

It's fast and easy - What more can you ask for? Plus, whenever YouTube adds more code to their product to prevent downloads, this excellent plugin author immediately finds a work-around and updates his plugin so we can continue seamlessly downloading all the videos whenever we choose.

Personally, I download them because too many times I find that YouTube is censoring many of my favorite video channels. So I make it a habit to archive any videos that I believe will be "disappeared" in the future.

One more point: Donating $10 or more with not only give you the ability to download faster HD and add-free videos -- but it supports all the updates and work Dishita [the plugin author], puts into this plugin -- and he has done it for many years. So please consider donating to him and all others who work to keep FireFox the best choice in browsers!

-------------------

Works perfectly every time!

BTW, just a quick note to those whiners who constantly complain about giving a few bucks to add-on developers:

Stop being cheapskates!

Give developers your monetary support for creating a good product and keeping it updated for you and all users.

Great easy to use app

I had switched to Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express because my previous downloader had developed problems.
I was upset when the new add-on started acting up ( probably a Youtube change ). But fortunately, this add-on was different from the other one(s). For one thing, the author had a web site with actual contact ability ! With the previous one and another add-on I have had problems in that I could not find any way to contact the author ! This site was easy to contact ( other than a temporary shutdown to prevent being swamped with repeat messages about the same problem ) ! Once I contacted the author, he( she ?) got back to me at most a day and a half later. Then, it could not have been much more than 48 hours before the problem got fixed ! And some of that time was my fault for not setting the updating right. Maybe he had been working on it for a while before I noticed a problem, but still impressive. You can put all kind of bells and whistles in the
software, but that doesn't matter if it breaks, and months or more go by before it gets fixed! Customer service is the thing needed, and this site really did well ! Those other add-ons mentioned are still broke, months later, as far as I can tell ! Couple this with it's ease of use, and I'd happily recommend Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express !
It could use a shorter name though !

This is an excellent, easy to use add-on allowing you to download YouTube video in many different resolutions. Downloaded MP4 videos (720p+1080p) work perfectly in iTunes (on a Mac) with no need for any other conversions so it's great for music videos. The developer is active and responsive to issues and whenever YouTube changes things up, the developer is not far behind with an update to get it all working again.

Very fast downloads of HD videos. Super easy and good quality! Well worth paying for!

Been using VDE for 4-5 years now, and have yet to be anything less than 100% satisfied. Great job Dishita, thanks

update July 2020: just upgraded to the new version and it still performs above expectations; simply a great add-on.

جميلة والله بس تفضل كدا علي طول

Muy útil para múltiples aplicaciones. Hasta para guardar informativos en baja resolución. Muy fiable.
Firefox le dará continuidad?

I've been using this wonderful add-on for many years and feel it's the very best for downloading YouTube videos. It's easy to set up and convenient to use, but what really impresses is the hard work and dedication involved in keeping this working while YouTube makes constant changes. It's not an add-on that can be written once and posted for users to download and install - Easy Youtube Video Downloader has to be rewritten, over and over again.

I usually have 2 or 3 web alternatives bookmarked for when a problem occurs, but when they fail they almost never update their code. I always know the author of this add-on is working on the problem and a fix will be available very soon.

Thanks again for the tireless efforts on behalf of those of us who count on this valuable - and free, or virtually free - web tool!

great

lovee this.

cool

excellent add on quick easy does what it is supposed to do and excellent support from the developer to make sure that it does thank you

This Add-on is awesome, I can download my prefer music videos, lyrics and tutorials in the format that I want to listen offline.
The support is faster and I'm glad to support the developer with the premium version.
Thank you a lot!

Easy and smooth to use.
I download either mp4 for video or 3gp to convert to mp3 so it always worked for me as a free version. However tx devs for this nice tool one coffee from me :)

Since 8 May 2015, I have enjoyed this add-on for the offline playing of 1080p videos. Today I found the 1080p and other mp4 menu was disappeared under the download button so I asked to help me about it then I received a super fast response to solve my problem and now the add-on works without any problem. I believe there are no other add-ons matching abilities of this add-on. Thank the author for providing this add-on. My support goes on.

Great, helpfull, easy...

For me, the ability to download YouTube videos is essential to my research and coaching—simply for purposes of referring to the exact content (never to infringe on copyright).

Not too surprisingly, YouTube continually makes changes in order to limit our ability to do this.

I am incredibly grateful that the developer of Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express not only created this add-on, but constantly updates it to work in a changing YouTube landscape.

I am happy to support this developer, and recommend that others 1) use this add-on, 2) post reviews here to share our experiences with it, and 3) support the developer with a "cup of coffer" now and then.

This is clearly a labor of love - and I love that it exists!

This tool has been very useful for downloading videos from youtube. It's easy to get started and select resolution and then start downloading. Advantage is not having to copy/paste the video address at the top in the address line. Just a few clicks is all you need.
