Rated 5 out of 5
by Dangrath, a year agoNext to uBlock, this is the most useful addon I have ever used.
I have downloaded hundreds of vids and it just works.
Yes there are sites like Youtube where it adds a giant QR code to try and passively force you to pay them a subscription (lifetime sub for $28, not a bad deal if you always use it, js), but for the sites I use, there is no watermark.
Also META constantly does changes to prevent downloads, so it currently doesn't work on FB and insta, but it has worked in the past and it may work again in the future.
The new update made things cleaner and more intuitive and the interface desperately needed it.
I dont mind installing the co-app for it to function seamlessly; its installed once and requires update once in a blue moon, its open source and everyone can check its code on github.
Thank you creators of this addon.
Edit: The newest update (Nov 2025) - The extension doesnt need a third party app to function anymore (Co App), the interface is cleaner and its more likely to grab a video for download, and is more faster.
The downside of the update is that we cannot select the download folder, but instead it uses browsers default download folder. Shame, but I dont mind that much, as the pros outweigh the cons imo.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19634104, 12 hours ago업데이트 후 동작이 무거워지고 저장후 재생이 안되는 경우가 많아졌어요. 썸네일 안나와도 되는데 왜이렇게 무거운지.. 앞화면에 있던 찌꺼기랑 섞여서 주루룩 뜨는 목록이 어떤게 원하는건지도 모르겠고 이상해졌음

- Rated 5 out of 5by BearBuckets, 2 days agoThis add-on is WORTH IT! I paid for the full version maybe a couple of months after I first tried it and I recommend everyone else do the same. The developers have made an awesome add-on and I'm glad that they shut-up and took my money! Make a donation, buy these people a coffee, some donuts, a beer, send them a card on their birthday, and maybe send them a nude once in a while because they deserve it! Great app. Love it!!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by csvalle, 2 days agoI'm just a user, but a very satisfied one with VideoDownloadHelper. It's never disappointed me; it's not perfect, but it's close enough.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Nicolas Claverie, 2 days agoles développeurs ont récement décidé d'ajouter sur tout les téléchargement un immense QR code qui couvre 1/4 de la vidéo. L'extension est inutilisable en l'état.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19636693, 2 days agoyeah i been using this for years, but since the last update it just takes the firefox-downloadfolder without a way to change it. I will have to look for something else. i dont want to move everything manually from my desktop, thanks. Who thought this was a good idea? I just love it when updates make everything worse, so great wow.

- Rated 2 out of 5by KauaLe, 2 days agoInitially, it is working fine, but later it is adding QR code which is much greater in size. We have alternate add ons for video downloader.
DO NOT INSTALL IT. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19635518, 3 days agoAntes era una de las mejores, ahora hay que esperar dos horas para descargar otro vídeo si no pagas. A veces no funciona. (Mejor alternativa: ytdlp.online)
- Rated 2 out of 5by Mamroth, 4 days agoFor some time ive been using this, its just bad. Just get separate windows program not browser extension ( media downloader from github works better than that) If i remember correctly for most files you need to download program anyway and you dont know if your video will have paywall at some point by having huge QR code in it
