by PBear.SF, 4 years agoBeen using this add-on for years. It is by far the best video download add-on I have ever come across (nothing for Safari, Chrome or Edge comes close) due to the sheer number of web sites it will work on.
Video Download Helper can download videos from just about any web page containing an embedded video. If it can't download a video directly, it will use another method (after the user installs one or two helper utilities - a little inconvenient, and for some users a little confusing, but well worth the trouble).
This Firefox add-on gets my highest recommendation.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19652123, 6 hours agoLatest update broke nearly everything I liked about this used-to-be-fantastic add-on. It did not need this redesign. What once was a joy is now naught but frustration.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19650803, a day agoThis extension saves me from buffering hell. The only gripe I have is with the documentation for the new Smartnaming method: I am not fluent in regular expressions and the few relevant options mentioned in the guide do not help me when cherry picking specific text on the webpage.
Until further notice I am using legacy mode so I can rely on XPath to search through div classes and specify normalizing white space, yada yada.
Edit: I wrote this hastily earlier with PLANS to use the legacy mode, but it seems to have been removed. Thanks for making me type out the titles. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19099649, a day agoNewest version is broken. Nothing is downloading and saving. Errors constantly.
