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.

- Good News: it works like a charm!
Bad News: it only saves in webm, and if you try to change it to mp4 or mov without using a converter, it breaks the video and only saves the audio.
I know webm isn't a problem for everyone and it literally advertises it (my dumbass didn't read that part), but I personally prefer mp4 or mov files. I've already tried a different screen recording extension, which was ass AND had the same webm problem, and this one works much better. If I can't find a screen recorder without webm, I'll probably just keep using this one. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18913945, 2 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by 腐魂, 3 months ago可以用，可以录到声音，使用也很方便，缺点就是分辨率低。致命问题是不能录到全部片段，例如：录一分钟的视频，只能播三秒钟，后面就直接没有，文件大小也是够一分钟的，却只能播放三秒钟！用剪辑软件打开，所有内容都是可以播放的！
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18691190, 4 months agoit needs audio. you have two smalls circles, blue and green under the screen. i used it in a live tiktok stream and worked.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Georgi, 7 months agoWorks brilliantly, the people saying it doesn't probably didn't read the instructions. You must have an audio source already active on the page for it to detect (ie, start the YT video and then start the extension).
Also, the default windows media player sometimes fails at reading the files, but it does that with all sorts of sources, so use a better player. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ayub Khan, a year ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by andresakle, a year agoDid not work on Firefox 120.1.
This add-on is no longer supported. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18174145, 2 years agoZero stars. Installed this for Firefox 120.0 (64-bit) based on a positive review article. Wasted an hour of my time. It appears this add-on is no longer maintained.
