Rated 5 out of 5
by Ian13, 5 years agoI like this addon - the latest version crashes all the time (immediately when I clicked the extension icon) so I downgraded to version 1.6 and all is well again. :)
I am using 67.0.4 (64-bit) firefox. Maybe I should consider upgrading it (?)
If I could only make one suggestion, I would love to be able to improve the video quality of the recorded webm file. I really don't care how big the resulting file is.
Even if I could 'hack' it myself, it would be great... I don't worry about the size since I use ffmpeg to re-encode it smaller after.
Other than that, I think this is a fantastic add-on.
Edit - I updated firefox and then this addon to 2.0 - it is even Better than before. Super job, I love this extension. please advise on if I can contribute for it.

posted 5 years agoYeah, I think your crashing problem is probably caused by your Firefox version.
I'm using the latest (77) and I only test on that, so earlier FF versions might end up not working.
About the video quality: there's not much I can do about that, since no quality options are exposed for it. It should be fixed on Firefox side of things, I guess. Perhaps there's another video format that works better than webm, I might give it a try at some point.
It records the stream as-you-get, so if you watch 4k video, it records the 4k video, and 360p is 360p, etc. But now I'm guessing the webm conversion, done by Firefox, ruins the quality.
