posted 7 years agoWe continue to work on migration AVD to a new platform and returning the habitual appearance as much as it possible in new Firefox versions, but it still may not support some features that the old AVD is used to.
You still can install old AVD version in Firefox 56 and below from Mozilla website here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloader-player/versions/ - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10369154, 7 years agoIt's back to working really well again. Ant sucked for a good, long while, but now it's back as good as it was before. I'll keep using it as long as it works, and if it stops working, my review can - nay, will - be amended.

如果能将优酷那里大的一个视频下载下来的一小段一小段相同文件名的视频,合并成一个文件名的视频就好了。Developer response

We continue to work on new AVD and return it the habitual appearance as much as it possible in new Firefox.- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13643998, 7 years agoThis WAS a very good extension.
Hopefully it will be again--soon.
Currently the thousands of videos that I have downloaded over the years are mostly unavailable. If any future upgrade of this extension doesn't make those old files available again I feel I may as well start from scratch with another extension. I hope it doesn't come to that, though.
The mechanics of one downloader or another aren't really all that important to me--the real value is in those old videos. If they are "gone" I probably will be too.Developer response

I could not download a piece of classical music recorded in 1928. I guess YouTube bought out Ant down loader. Garbage, now.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13636859, 7 years agoI love AVD but now I HATE FIRFUX - these stupid pricks have screwed around with AVD's ability to function so many time already and now they have really buggered things up. The ONLY reason I was using FF in the first place was to have access to AVD. AVD has always been great and now I am going back to an earlier version of FF just so I can keep using it. People who are bitching to Ant - maybe you should be blasting the FF developers instead - they are the pricks who screwed everything up. Oh and TOR browser works with the older version of AVD (not sure about 3.0) so if you want to dump FF, use TOR.

For many reason I’m running Firefox 52.5.2 32 BIT ESR and I had installed ANT Video downloader 2.4.7.46 or 2.4.7.50 but trying to download files from XNXX.com it look like I receive a lot of part files, but this had not been a problem before. ANT just tell me that I need to install a Media Converter. Click on installation download then ffmpeg.exe and system try to unpack it without any error, but next download shows up with same error / suggestion. Firefox closed down / restarted. System Restarted booth without any help.
I had also tested the last update from FireFox, but then I just feel that ANT need more actions before I can download files. To many options to choose between, and not able to select the place to save the files.
Please tell me what to do for use the old version of FF and ANT.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

You still can install old AVD version in Firefox 56 and below from Mozilla website here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloader-player/versions/ - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13629833, 7 years agoHave used it for years, always worked faultlessly, downloaded very efficiently, never had any problems. But now - new version has ruined it. Before you could see and select the different possible downloads wherever you were without leaving the tab. Now it opens in a new tab which completely interrupts everything. A bit like having to stop your car and get out just to put on the indicator. Yes, it's that irritating. Also the downloads would show up in the Firefox download tab, you could monitor progress and see all ongoing, finished or failed downloads that way, very simple, very clear and again with no effect on the current tab. Now nothing there. To continue the car analogy, the dashboard has just been taken away, no speedo, no rev counter or fuel gauge. Feels like a spectacular own goal to me, but it seems to be deliberate. And where do you set the download folder, don't tell me you can't set that any more, but it certainly isn't obvious if you can.
Helpful response from the developer explains that it has had to change because of Firefox so beyond their control. Therefore up-rated to 4* as I guess it is still the best of the available options and hopefully they will find ways to get it back to earlier functionality.Developer response
posted 7 years agoUnfortunately, since Firefox 57 and beyond Mozilla no longer supports XPCOM type of add-ons, such as the old version of AVD.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13604595, 7 years agoFirst of all, all I get is "NO VIDEO DETECTED" no matter where I go.
You used to have an extremely EASY to use, i.e. user friendly, program for downloading just about anything but now...I have NO idea if it is downloading, where it is downloading to IF it is downloading? WTF happened to the easy to use program? And WHERE is it downloading to? ALL I get is A LINK to go right back to the video on YouTube or any other site. WHAT IS GOING ON?No more downloading?
AND WHAT THE HELL IS A NATIVE APPLICATION???? This is just for a desk top. NOT some iphone, or smart phone or laptop.Developer response

If the app saved the download to a folder on the computer or phone it would make more sense. If you have to be online to use the download I see no use for the app. You Tube has history files to save what you want.
