Extrêmement long pour les téléchargements, fonctionnement non convivial

I'm fed up with the specific problem of Firefox allowing addons to open a tab and switch to it. When I do an important task, fill out an administrative form, telecommuting, upload a video on Youtube, capture a whole page, in short any task that needs to stay on the page for a long time, it's not at all time to be switched to an update tab, for example, from an addon who abuses this function without way to disable it! Thanks Firefox for not disabling this feature! Another thing, this addon, useful in the past, does not download any video on important sites like Facebook, Youtube (which obliges to install an unknown software to download a video), ... I uninstalled this addon!

Half the time it doesn't work. I never know what it is going to display. I don't see any controls for it, I don't see where the options are for it, Today, instead of a text box prompting me for the location of the file to download, I get a full browser page that is empty, with the works" Video Download Helper" in the upper left. No clue what is going on.

grrr

I gave it two stars, because sometimes it works as it is supposed to. About 1/2 to 2/3 of the time it works. OK.

This used to be a good extension.
However, it is now required to purchase a companion app to download HD flux without watermark.

War mal gut jetzt nicht mehr.Früher konnte man mit einem "klick" ein You Tube Viedeo herunterladen.Jetzt muß man noch zusätzliche Tools hinzu laden.Nein,wird entfernt.Oder ist das nur bei Windows 10 ?

I have been a VDH user for many years. Most of that time, I have had great results. However, since the use of the VDH Companion App has become necessary, I have encountered new problems, not sure if they have been reported on the forum because most of my search questions get no results. The problem is that this VDH Companion App causes, and has done so many times now, all 4 of my iMac computer cores to come on And my fan speeds to almost max out. 1796 and higher. How do I know this VDH Companion App is causing this for sure? I used Activity Monitor to find out. Once I used Activity Monitor to shut down VDH Companion App, my core use went back to normal and my fan speed dropped to normal. I had to use Activity Monitor to Shut down the VDH Companion App because I could not figure out how to do it otherwise and it was Continuing to run, even after I had Quit Firefox. How is this even possible? No apparent way to shut it off. Another issue is that there is no easy or clear way to contact the developer that I can find. I tried, again, searching on the Firefox Support forum on the VDH page, but Nothing comes up. I can't find a way to get feedback or questions to the developer. Apparently, there is a way, because I see that people post, but I can't find it. Why is there no direct link or email feedback form posted? Most of my other FF Add-Ons have a direct way, like an email link, that I can use to contact them. I see that many people have posted issues with the VDH Companion App as well.

Uso a muitos anos essa extensão, ja colaborei com donativo de tão boa e funcional que era. A partir da versão 7, o app ficou muito ruim. Não consigo entender qual versão de um video baixar porque não fica claro entre as opções de download, não mostra o tamanho da midia que será baixada, não baixa mais na mesma pasta, a menos que se use um outro app companion, o icone do app não tem mais a animação, que indica a presença de midia no site, enfim uma série de mudanças que me levaram a desabilitar o app e buscar outra solução. Uma pena pois sempre foi excelente, recomendei para diversos amigos mas hoje na versão 7 está inviável.

One hour video took three hours to download. It was 720p. So yeah night happy

This app used to work perfectly fine. However, today when i tried using the latest version 7.1.1 it almost freeze my machine. The machine is busy and not able to do anything else. Any suggestions?

I am on firefox 57.0.2 (64-bit)

Cette extension était juste une merveille d'ingéniérie informatique jusqu'à la plus récente version. Ce qui était simple, intuitif et fonctionnel est devenu une montagne pour geek. Je plains ceux qui ne comprennent rien à l'explication donnée à propos du companion. Je me plains donc...
En bref, le constat se résume à des morceaux tronqués de vidéos, illisibles, des erreurs à répétitions auxquelles on ne comprend rien, à moins peut-être de payer la rançon de18€ ou 28 USD (là il va falloir aussi revoir un autre détail: le taux de conversions € - $)
Comment faire compliqué quand on peut faire simple: magnifique exemple.

This extension was just perfect, and now, it's quite useless. And what do I notice? On most complaints there's an answer linking to a google help forum. What's the heck? If you guys don't like ppl saying it doesn't work in hundreds of languages, just fix the bugs, what do we have to do with yet another help forum?
I shouldn't have written that if the app was still free or open source.

out of date

I'm not at all happy about the latest version of Video DownloadHelper. Before I was able to tell it where I wanted the video to be filed and could even change the name of the video as I wanted it labeled. NOW, it just directly to the download folder - I can't tell it where to be filed and can't change the title. I hate it. Please correct these issues or let us know how to correct it (customize). This is SSSSOOOOOO frustrating. Before, it was a very, very good product.

depuis la mise à jour de firefox, plus très interessant

It was very good but it cannot be used anymore for videos since it's always asking me to install some companion application. In the end it wasn't useful because it didn't even redirect me to the companion application mentioned..
