Reviews for YouTube Video and Audio Downloader (WebEx)
YouTube Video and Audio Downloader (WebEx) by feller
Review by Montgomery Minds
Rated 5 out of 5
by Montgomery Minds, 6 years agoEDIT 02/09/2019: Raised from 1 to 5 stars.
Tried this again on a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 PC. Worked "perfectly".
Well, the download button on the video itself is still not working. The quick download is tricky to get working. So maybe not "perfectly" but I love it again.
Also, it still remains true that the github page that this addon lists as its homepage has " 1 commit. 1 branch. 0 releases. 1 contributor" which does not sound right.
But for the moment, this is a killer addon for me. Makes downloading from youtube so quick and easy (once set up).
NOTE: for those who complain about permissions: It is a lot and that always concerns me. But these are all needed:
'Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history' is needed because it has a feature to auto-convert a video to a audio or .mp3 file. Also a feature to combine DASH separate audio and video files into 1. So it has to read the download history, find that file or those files and convert them. It also links the two history entries for the 2 file feature.
Also 'Exchange messages with programs other than Firefox' is need so that it can run ffmpeg to do these combines and extracts.
It also has a feature to use desktop notifications to report its activities. I happen to find that helpful, but some will not.
So I conclude that these are legit.
ORIGINAL 01/25/2019:
I loved this app. Today I got "signatureLocal: Signature could not be verified"
Yes and as other have said, the button in the video has gone. Have to click on the addon icon to get started. Also setting quick mp4 stopped working. Have to click on download panel then select mp4.
Those annoyance I could put up with. But now it just flat-out doesnt work.
Too bad. Was such a good app.
Its github page [https://github.com/feller-prj/extractor-project] today says " 1 commit. 1 branch. 0 releases. 1 contributor." That can't be true.
I fear it did change hands as another review mentioned. How can you tell? It's not in the releases listed on addons.mozzila.org?
Is it still working for anyone?
Developer: come here and save your addon (if that is truly your intention)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15223049, 12 days agoSince YouTube decided to make even more money in spring 2025, and therefore pulled the strings in their content delivery system very tight, this tool doesn't work anymore.
It would need an update to again become one of the best YouTube downloaders out there, because that's what it was. Also it was one of the most versatile tools.
Once it got 5 stars from me using a different account, currently only one star because you can't vote zero stars.
I would like to see this tool resurrected, but for the time being I'll use Videomass. - Rated 1 out of 5by bigsmilescartoons, 24 days agouse "Downr YouTube Downloader" instead. Search for it in addon store.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5836511, 4 months agoHas been a really great addon for a long time until it stopped working for me three years ago.
So I did let it live in my firefox out of hope that someday there may be an update which would get it working again.
But I think after three years of waiting in vain, it's safe to pronounce this add-on dead, uninstall it and look for alternatives.
So long, and thanks for all the videos, but I guess it's time to move on. - Rated 1 out of 5by malau, 4 months agoI was shocked to see that this was still installed. No buttons have shown up for years. It's a totally broken mess that i'm, about to remove.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Booff, 4 months agoThis was the best youtube downloader available but it no longer works and it appears the developer has given up as no updates for 3 years.
