by [ + ] 7, 2 months agoFilename options should have an additional option to use both the last part of URL and the tab name, or a custom pattern. Also, sometimes it gets the videos from Private tabs, sometimes it does not. The interface is also overall kinda clunky to use, like, the buttons and overall layout would be much better with some proper care, it does not separate videos found in the list, as in "Found", "Downloading" and "Downloaded". So, mostly the extension is not clear enough about what is happening and I'm just hoping that it will find the file and that I'm downloading the right file, even if I need to click some settings that I'm not completely sure of what they do.
Overall, with a bit of hope and fiddling, it tends to work. Could use more work to be more clear about what's going on, but, it does work, and thank you for that!

posted 2 months agoUsing the tab name was actually just added in the latest version! So yeah it could maybe use a bit more polish. How would you expect files to be named?
For the private tab bug, it happens on Firefox for Android's latest versions due to a bug in the app, you can't download anything when opening the add-on on private windows. You can still load the videos in private mode but to download them, open the add-on from a regular window. I have opened a bugzilla bug report about this problem. Otherwise sometimes when the add-on is not initialized yet nothing is detected. Usually opening the add-on first then loading your video fixes the problem.
I'm working on an update to make settings easier to browse. It will display a list of categories that you can drop down to reveal the associated settings (instead of having to scroll through and read everything)
The downloaded videos can be seen from the checkmark icon on the download button! I usually don't keep them separated if you want to try a download again, and so the order of the list stays consistent (from older to newer), but it's a good idea to have it as an option!
Which settings do you not understand? Maybe I can reword them!
Finally, I don't get notified on review edits so I recommend sending me an email (the heart icon at the bottom of the add-on) so we can talk more easily!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Shonazar, 22 days agoI have a suggestion. I tested the extension, it is very slow in its current method, and I like that there is a preview function that lets native browser video player show up, but I couldnt right click download the video, download video option was grayed out, I suggest you add native dovnload option if thats ever possible

posted 22 days agoHi, thanks for the review!
The download speed is based on the speed of the server of the site that plays the video. If it's slow, there's not much I can do about it!
If you can view the video but the right click download is greyed out, it's probably an m3u8 stream. This can't really be downloaded using the browser's native download method as it's composed of many different stream segments, so you'd end up with hundreds of files instead!
You can however set the download method to native (in settings > download settings) to download both raw files like .mp4 and .mpd streams with the default browser downloader when you click on download!
I can't change the right click option to not be greyed out however. That's a browser feature I can't change from an extension!
Hope you can still continue to use it!
Enjoy the downloads! 🦊 - Rated 4 out of 5by JP, 23 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by F50, a month agonot working even with Demo page that comes with the addon (Download has not started?)
also tried to download files from Facebook and TikTokDeveloper response
posted a month agoHi! For the demo page, do you get any error message? Or does the download seem to complete (download icon turns into a checkmark) but nothing is downloaded?
On Firefox for android, you need to open the add-on once in your browsing session BEFORE loading the video, then reloading the video / refreshing the page and trying again. And due to a bug in the the android version of firefox (only on android) that I have no influence over, the download can only start when you open the add-on from a non private window, so try opening it from a regular window instead.
Please update me! Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20241171, a month agoI cant believe it works great!!! No problem at all easy to use

🐕🦺🦊🧡 - Rated 1 out of 5by HAVEAGOODDAY, a month agoThe worst of all options? Maybe. But better than a virus at least. For my heavy downloading it sits low on the list. Couldn't test it because it didn't worked. Ironic part is that i am on android. Have a good day.
Developer response
posted a month agoCould you be a bit more specific? What exactly didn't work (Detection of your media? Starting a download? Completing one? Is there any error message?) and which site you tried on, so I can try to help you out.
I don't get notified of review edits so best thing is sending me an email (see the settings section in the extension for my email
