- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13188171, 7 years agoTrying to get this to work was too confusing. Once I finally did figure it out, it didn't download all of the video, only a tiny bit of it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Jerry Photo 69, 7 years agoThis app takes over an hour to download and aggregate a 200mb video, and then it puts a giant square over a third of the frame, if it can even download. Doesn't work on many sites like 123 Movies, where it just lists all the file chunks instead of aggregating them. With streaming videos, it often just stops downloading at like 30%. Useless.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14293225, 7 years agoUsed to be good. I tried to download a video from Youtube and the addon wanted to download an additional tool - crap
- Rated 1 out of 5by stleroy, 7 years agothis is the most unnecessarily sensitive ridiculous and temperamental video download app EVER!
don’t use auto update!
get older version we can’t keep the platform together for new firefox!
sometimes it downloads a video from youtube without issue, but most times on any browser it is one fucked up cluster fuck…
spent about 2 hrs this time fucking with 7.3.1 and got nowhere. .mkv ??? nothing is even in the download.
go click on one of the disappearing links you have and try to ‘save’ it .. but you offer too many version by the time i see one that would work the page vanishes… and other page vanish..
WTF?
and i get so many file sizes. the screens are tiny (or they won’t or can’t be opened) or whatever.
i then downloaded ‘YTD video downloader and i didn’t have to do shit… bam! the url appeared in the window and with in 10 secs. the mp4 was on my desktop and it was a large screen..
i use chrome, firefox safari all updated to the max and i have a 470/mps wifi… so your app should preform better than it does
do something to make your app more user friendly… it’s so silly really!
thanks - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13084173, 7 years agoIt always ask to add a "companion" app, when you install it it ask for money or cover half of the video with a link for a "licencied" copy of the software, is an scam as never tell it will require for a payment before you lost more than 30 Min installing all what the extension ask for it, then at the end you get half of your videos covered with a link to purchase diferent kind of "converters"
False - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14290292, 7 years agoThis addon requires additional software, not approved by Firefox, to be downloaded and installed.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14272151, 7 years agoThis used to be a useful extension but, following Firefox changes, they introduced a companion app. That was ok for a while but now they are just trying to make money. For the last few weeks, the companion app hides downloads that the free add-on would normally show (and other download apps still show) to try and force you to then pay to remove the watermark it adds to the download (that shouldn't need the companion app at all). I proved this by uninstalling the companion app, re-starting Firefox and then the free add-in showed all the video formats again. Problems with the video? No, I ran the test it on VDH's own advertising video on YouTube! The companion app is now hijackware just to try and make money.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14269970, 7 years agoPerhaps the extension I'm using (VdhCoApp 1.2.4) isn't registered, but the video output of what was a 1080p video seems terrible and blocky. I can't tell the difference between the 1080p version and the 320p outputs, in either wmv, webm or mp4.
- Rated 1 out of 5by David J, 7 years agoVideo Downloadhelper places a bar-code directly in your video in order to convince you to purchase a registered version. This bar-code links you directly to the Video Downloadhelper page. While, I do understand that it does cost money to provide video downloading and video converting services, I strongly reject the idea that its users are not informed a head of the addition to Firefox. Please be considerate of other people and respect their time.
- Rated 1 out of 5by david lyons, 7 years agoBefore it was great now it just make you to download additional file just for medium res or high res and it doesn't even work.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14264186, 7 years agoDownloadHelper prompts to download additional pkg file (for certain video types) on a Mac which tries to install OSX.Bella trojan :(
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14185636, 7 years agoDid not work for other websites. It could not find content.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14260975, 7 years agoWas good, but now they are only after the money! Now you need a shitty 3th party app for youtube or they put QR watermark on top of the video. Thanks for ruining a good app!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14260858, 7 years agoПрограмма полное гавно - ничего толком скачать не может. При закачке теряет источник каждые 30 секунд. Вы больше нервов положите, чем что-нибудь скачаете этой программой. Не пользуйтесь ни в коем случае этим ГАВНОМ!
