by Firefox user 13615081, 8 years agoVideo DownloadHelper used to be one of the apps that just works.
However, with the recent update, it requires and additional addon "Video DownloadHelper Companion App" in order to work properly. This addon is NOT hosted in the official Mozilla Foundation repository for add-ons.
This puts the questions of its legitimacy and security.

Hi Mig, saw your response to my review and others. Sort of understand that your hands are tied.
Updated the ratings to 5 stars. Thanks for the great effort.
Happy holidays.

posted 8 years agoWhatever question of legitimacy and security, this companion app is now the only way to make the add-on work properly. Feel free to bash Mozilla for that, not the add-on.
By the way, this companion app is both code-signed and open-sourced.
