by Firefox user 15823984, a year agoThis extension had been working almost flawlessly on YouTube for many years, but recently no download links appear on my end anymore. This seems to have started a couple of months ago, when YouTube started to implement heavy restrictions if users didn't allow ads on their site. From those days onward, some downloaded files with SaveFrom.net started to download incompletely (most of the file downloaded, but by the end the download suddenly stopped and left two file leftovers, one with the incomplete media that managed to download, and an empty file), and later on, download links started to be fewer and fewer, until they disappeared completely.
I've tried disabling most of my other extensions (adblockers, script blockers, tracking blockers, etc.), but to no avail.
I've also tried rolling back to earlier versions of the extension (all versions from v10.19 to v10.5) and none has worked, which supports the theory the issue comes from YouTube itself and that the extension needs an update.
Is anyone else having the same problem or is it just on my end?
UPDATE 1: Add-on has recently updated to version 10.20 and now it does show all download links on YouTube, but when trying to download any, it gives an error and no file is downloaded.
UPDATE 2: I'm glad to know the add-on is working fine again on version 10.24. However, it no longer grabs OPUS audio files. Is this function planned to be restored on a future revision?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18973265, 3 days agoThis extension hasn't worked for 2 months. Yes, it lets you download videos, but it will not include the sound for any video downloaded; this includes in any format and even after editing the setup parameters. There are other extensions out there that do work.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Andre Bell, a month agoNo sound from YouTube downloads. All options show a red no-sound icon. Each video takes an hour to download over fast fiber optics :(

- Rated 3 out of 5by Alex B, 2 months agoworks, but also shows a green download arrow over the top of every image on twitter, with no ability to disable in the extension settings. Also requests access to ALL sites rather than a dedicated site list. Appears to be closed source despite listed license also, cannot find any link to source code on the listen website
*** because it is a working youtube downloader, but the security issues and bugs downgrade it. (closed source and universal read/write access is not great) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19188691, 2 months ago
