- Rated 1 out of 5by HeyBlah, 7 years agoThis new update is horrible. It suggests downloading and installing a separate program to the hard drive in order to make it work.
I used this add-on for years and loved it but this new build just doesn't work for me.
There are a few video downloaders that now require an *.msi installer for it to work.with the new Firefox update but I've found a downloader which works fine with no additional program needed.
Unfortunately i might have to migrate away from this.Developer response

Native application installer contains only converter with libraries needed for support streaming videos. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13509864, 7 years agoNotice that when you try to install how it says it can completely molest your entire computer. Monitor all your traffic, get all your site data, blah blah blah.
HAHA now it wants to install a standalone program using a MS installer MSI !!!
No thanks, I'm not going to install this virus on my machine.
Okay so I finally broke down and actually installed it. It's absolutely terrible. The interface is impossible to understand and it totally unusable. Now when I click on a video or sound to DL it opens up another page filled with links of things I can DL but they're all repeats of the same thing and it's impossible to tell what you're actually DLing.
THIS IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF "BETTER" BEING THE ENEMY OF GOOD!Developer response

It used to be the best video downloader. Now you have to install a separate program via a Microsoft installer. Guess I won't be using it anymore.
