- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15099013, a year agoused to be great, now, 50% of the time it doesn't work, and the rest of the time it adds a qr-code over about 40% of the vid.
I'm sure I'll see a refund of my donation a couple weeks ago. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16868508, a year agoI gave this shit addon 3 stars just so those who looked to see what good experiences others had with this shit addon would see the truth.It deserves 0 or 1 star! This addon doesn't download Youtube videos or any others without paying $30 to the pricks that put this thing up. No mention is made of this when you see or download the addon, but try to download a video and it puts a huge watermark on the video! Don't download this piece of slow shit! Look elsewhere and cause these pricks to fail and go away!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Brian, a year agoVideo Download Helper has been redesigned and it is simpler to use. Easier to see the status of my downloads. However the Images Download feature, which wasn't working properly prior to the change, seems to have disappeared altogether.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Emery Palmerson, a year agoI noticed that the user has to acquire a license to download videos that are freely available on other sites, plus I noticed that the nameless comments are fives stars set one hour apart as if this company is now spamming the reviews as if they know that they are actively committing fraud on the public, not to mention the embedded QR Code in the video!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12162781, a year agoI like the new look. I don't like that if i mistakenly add to the que. that I cant stop it. or at least haven't figured out how. it seems to be more reliable than the old version on the downloads completion rate.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13655286, a year agopaid for a license but can't find the setting to add it to Firefox down loader
Found the setting but I'm in the dark as to why it crashes now and then. - Rated 3 out of 5by randomenough, 2 years agoI've been using this consistently for more than a year. I use it to save some streaming audio shows from radio stations. It works pretty well and still needs a lot of improvement. My biggest gripe is that some web pages will present 27 possible files to download with no hint as to which audio stream each is. I have tried downloading all 27, but it is very time-consuming to go through each file and listen long enough to determine if it is the one I want.
If it consistently presented each file in the order on which it is on the page, that would work. Or perhaps there could be a way to identify the stream by playing the first 10 seconds before downloading.
There have been a few updates and each one has frustrated me because I have to learn a whole new way to use the extension. Each update has been more pain than pleasure as they make one thing better and sometimes two things worse. - Rated 3 out of 5by Xan, 2 years agoDownloads videos in decent quality, but without sound. If there is a setting to fix this, I cannot find it.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18447508, 2 years agoIf you find the well "hidden" option to switch back to the old UI, it feels like the old version again and some of the awkward restrictions like not being allowed to chose the download folder without the companion installed. Up from bad review and one star to 3 stars for now. Havent finished a full test yet. Hiding the option to chose the download location is a VERY weird thing.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Danilitikus, 2 years agoSeit dem Update gestern (auf Version 9.0.2.3) ist dieses Add-On, was die Benennung der Videodateien betrifft, eine mittlere Katastrophe: die frühere Einstellung, wie lang der Dateiname sein darf, wird nicht berücksichtigt, Sonderzeichen (die durchaus in Dateinamen erlaubt sind) werden einfach entfernt - dazu zählen sogar Punkte, Bindestriche, Klammern etc. - sodass der Dateiname fast nicht mehr erkennbar ist!
Noch etwas muss ich ergänzen: auch fast sämtliche sprachspezifische Sonderbuchstaben werden eliminiert bzw. gegen das englische Alphabet ausgetauscht - diesen Unfug gab es in der vorigen Version nicht - unakzeptabel!
Auch die Anzeige der für den Download verfügbaren Video-Codecs und Auflösungen ist viel unübersichtlicher und weniger informativ geworden.
Ich will meine bisherige Version 8.x zurück!!! - Rated 3 out of 5by Czubaka1234, 2 years agoI really like that new UI. Unfortunately the new UI doesn't display media detected on closed tabs ("Orphan"). Please add this and I will gladly give 5 stars.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18023884, 2 years agoI used to give 5 stars review for the greatest video download extension ever, for older version as 8.0.0.6. It's able to download every video as I want. After your updated newer version had been coming, It was working marvelously for a few months. It's downloading faster like lightning. After that errors occurred on all newer version until the current version9. I'm so disappointed and I give you down rate to 3 stars now unfortunately. I'm so wondered these errors are not fixed until now, even a lot of complaints are showed up.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Stephen, 2 years agoThe old version is fabulous and I rate 5 stars. The new version is terrible and I rate 1 star, hence the average. As a result, I have gone back to the previous version and turned off updates. If you're new to this, my recommendation is to go back to the pre May 2024 version.
