Either please contact with more details to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17199694, 3 years agoWhat have you done to this extension? It has been completely ruined, the UI is so bad, most of the time it doesn't even load the video list of a specific page. And what's up with the full history off all videos you came across, this thing is buggy as hell now! I guess, good job for ruining your extension, if this doesn't get fixed, it will be dead very soon.

- Rated 1 out of 5by bunicu, 3 years agoWorked well in the past, some time ago stopped to work on youtube and now is not working anymore. Maybe it is a strategy for pushing users to download this software from their website and install direct on PC, not like an browser add-on.

Even though they said they would automatically be deleted they werent. Flash forward to today where another update hit that added a manual clear list that does absolutely nothing. The add on also likes to just stop working mid download and again if you try and check on it loading all videos locks down firefox. The add on also likes to just stop working now from time to time. It wont even load the box to see if there are videos that could be downloaded when you click on it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14815453, 3 years agoUPDATE, August 19, 2022:
Well, the latest version arrived just in time to fuck up my browser when the old version was disabled, meaning that while I tried to figure out what the fuck was going on, I lost out on a time sensitive video that's no longer available! Thanks a lot fucksticks, you've managed to prove you're retarded as ever. How about a fucking heads-up next time you stupid shit stains? Put a fucking indicator dot or something on the menu bar icon to let people know it needs to be updated, for fucks sake, how fucking hard is that!!! Not that it would really matter, i suppose, considering it's next to fucking impossible to open the settings page when there's no video to download or it's not being detected.... Testing it now; still slower than fuck on larger videos=bullshit. Used to be one click downloading, now multiple clicks to start=more fucking bullshit. I fucking HATE that you removed the progress bar!!! Whose bright idea was that?!! Is there some sort of never ending contest around the office to see which asshole can shit out the biggest log of an update? Great job ass-hats, can't wait for your next colossal, fecal brainstorm.
OG, late December 2021:
This used to work brilliantly until you decided to f*** with it and you broke it...STOP TRYING TO FIX THINGS THAT AREN'T BROKEN!!!!!
UPDATE, January 7, 2022:
"Currently, we're unable to reproduce the issue, but we suspect it may be caused when updating from version 4.9 to 4.10, and then to 4.11-4.12.
The problem may be in the data left from version 4.9. Unlike Chromium-based browsers, Firefox does not delete extension storage when you uninstall it, even in debugging mode.
Try resetting Ant Video downloader, go to Settings - Reset, click the WIPE OUT AND RESET button. This will delete any data in the extension storage, and reload the extension."
I've uninstalled and updated to the "latest version" which on my settings page shows "Version 4.11 (build 1, release)", NOT version 4.12 and there is no "Settings - Reset" option and no "WIPE OUT AND RESET button" anywhere to be seen...
WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!! STOP FUCKING ABOUT AND REVERT IT BACK TO 4.9 WHICH WORKED JUST FINE YOU STUPID FUCKING ASSHOLES!!!!!!Developer response

The interface is awful, successful detection of videos has decreased, and I'm unable to cancel so many entries that appear to be stuck in download mode. For the love of god, please reinstate the previous version please.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17194473, 3 years agoAVD used to be the better of most Firefox video download programs out there.
The design was clean, it worked well and was able to grab videos that others could not.
Nice work by the developers.
No disrespect to the developers but this latest version really looks like it could need some finetuning.
To me, it seems on the bloated side and cluttered when compared to the previous versions.
It also seems more difficult to use and possibly buggy.
For example, I am unable to remove failed downloads, even though the source tabs have been shut down.
I am going to remove and reinstall it, see how it goes from there.Developer response
