by Firefox user 14461240, 6 years agoЛучшая замена почившему дополнению «Video Downloadhelper», но интерфейс очень неудобный (особенно если нужно скачать много файлов с одной страницы). Впрочем, и даунлоудхелпер был таким же.
-----------------------
TO THE DEVELOPERS: UI could be much better. Why can’t I download files with their original names or give them names of my choice? Why can't I specify a download folder for each particular page? Why shold I do 4 additional clicks to just choose video quality?
Also, sometimes AVD can’t find videos on Youtube, when I play them in 720p. Maybe I should make a bug report.

- Rated 3 out of 5by djdanby, 10 months agoMacht was es soll. Auch auf diversen anderen Seiten neben Youtube. Allerdings ist bei manchen Websites nicht ersichtlich ob es sich bei der Datei die man herunterladen möchte um Audio oder Video Material handelt. Oft lädt man eine Datei die dann keinen Ton hat, oder eine Datei die nur Ton ist, aber keinen Videoinhalt hat. Hier sollte noch nachgebessert werden.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17526896, 10 months agoStill displays "Native app is not available". Tried hard to find any information in extension settings but there is nothing about it :-(
- Rated 5 out of 5by RiD1, a year agoThis was awesome when it was working but I think this is one of the first apps google targetted on their youtube downloader shutting down spree. We now have a broken app.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13857576, a year agoSo ..it has come to this huh ...
As a user of this extension for about 10 years ...a couple of years ago (2021) when they did the update to the new interface style etc. I immediately warned people to not use it.
Its bad, breaks everything, I reverted back to the last oldest version before that very update ... and I am still using that very version (4.9.2) right now.
I find that it still works good and better then any later version ever could.
I see things havent exactly gotten better since the last time I checked in here.
I also see some people asking for the native app but can't find any. I still have it.
mediafire.com/file/3pzb6vrwhsg6ahr/AVD_4.9.2.rar/file
This rar includes the original 4.9.2 addon installation files for Firefox and the matching native app.
For those interested;
Uninstall any current version of the addon and native app.
Simply extract the .rar
Drag the fx.xpi file into firefox, and it should pop up asking to install
Install the native app if you want
But in Firefox, disable Auto updates on this extension, it just ruins it.
In case you were going to want to try .... I can not guarantee that this specific native app version works with a later browser addon version either. It might just start crying about how that's not up to date. I am not gonna go through the trouble of testing it, I just don't care enough. There are other browser addons to begin with as well.
Now if I could only get Mozilla to stop making stupid changes nobody asked for to begin with as they have done in the past few years ... we'd all be happy campers. - Rated 2 out of 5by SzymonL, a year ago
