Rated 1 out of 5
by Firefox user 15326730, 5 years agoInteresting: If you edit your review, it gets hidden between the others at its original point in time. So for updates, you have to delete the previous one, and do a new one. So be it:
2 months later: 1) The developer is obviously NOT able to exterminate the bug, especially if you want to download the YT "up next" video and forget to press F5 after it beginning to play, you almost systematically download the previous, or pre-, or pre-pre-... video, up to 10 and more such identical videos in a row if you don't pay attention.
2) But for the time being, this has become irrelevant now, since it DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. Of course you can install ffmpeg, the integration, incl. the correct path, the native client and all, took me 10 minutes all in all, and this thing (after several reboots always tells me that everything is ok (in its settings page), and then, with EVERY YT video, and with ANY resolution, even the worst ones, tells me , "Something went wrong", etc., and asks me if I'm sure, etc. blah, blah, and yes, I am.
Immediately before this review, there are 8 5-star (1 of them only 4, for it making less obvious?) appreciations in a row, no reviews - playing foul now, on top of it?
At the end of the day, you get what you pay for, and I'm happy my paid downloader continues to work without fault.
(Why then did I use this thing to begin with? Because it was unique in allowing for selecting the download "format" (but manually only, one-by-one) by best AUDIO format, instead of the usual best video format, and that was worth it for me... I'm finished with it now. Bye.)

This bug is not as ubiquitous as it has been some weeks ago, but it's always present: After downloading some YT clip, it's always possible that the next download will not be the one you want to download, but the previous one, again. In theory, you would discover this from the double entry in your file manager then, but in practice, very often, the new download is simply lost, since days later, you cannot remember what you had intended to download then, when you discover the double download. You can minimize this risk by sorting your filemanager entries by date+time, and then systematically check each download, but it's a real nuisance, especially since this has been going on for months this way now. If it worked without fault, it would be a tremendous add-in, though. (There is another bug: It'll choke with several concurrent downloads, and that has always been this way, sometimes even with just 2 or 3 concurrent downloads, most often with 4 or more, so it's not a good idea to add on new downloads when the previous ones have not yet been finished; thankfully, the symbol shows how many downloads are currently in the making.)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13226556, 16 days agoit used to work but not any more so sad to see this go
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5836511, a month 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, a month 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 pwn20, 3 months agoUsed to be a fantastic add-on but now it doesn't work anymore as it's been abandoned for three years. Should be removed from the add-on store.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17370110, 3 months agoThis used to be great. I would use it to download the audio from YouTube podcasts, but it stopped working. I found this newer version, installed everything (ffmpeg etc) and it STILL DOESN'T WORK!! I'm so sad and disappointed. I really wish they'd get this working for YouTube again.
