Edit: I changed my rating because whatever it was that happened when I first used it, stopped.
The right videos are downloading (so far) and after closing and reopening my browser, the 720p option came back. So it was probably a glitch.

I was also told by email there is a minimum donation...but I accidentally deleted the email so don't remember what it is $10 or $15 I think.
To be honest, 720p is good enough for me. Maybe in the future I'll go pro but not now.


old review:
a little wonky...either a glitch or deception...not sure which...can edit my review later if it ends up a glitch.

When I got the add on, it told me 1080 could only be accessed with a donation...which I was fine with if I ended up liking it, I would probably get it.

Downloaded my first test video in 720p and straight off, it downloaded the wrong video, downloading a video I had watched earlier...but with the name of the video I was trying to download. Why?

So I went back to get the actual video I was trying to get, the 720p option vanished and told me I had to donate to get the 720p. It says everywhere to donate for 1080...not 720. And there's no 480 option so now I have no choice but to get a blurry video. Just great. How is this different than every other youtube app right now? *sigh*

So I head to the donation page to bookmark it for later...and now instead of asking for 5 bucks...it is asking me for $15. I might have had a spare 5 bucks...but not $15 for an addon that is already giving me conflicting information.
sounding kinda dodgy now

Elegant minimalist design and works like a charm! Support this great developer. He is an asset to the Firefox community!

Love it

While it worked this was a great Add-on but from other reviews from the last couple of days it seems like this Add-on is not working anymore (I thought it was a problem on my side but now it seems to be a general problem). I hope this get fixed soon as I used it regularly.

I just made a donation to the creator of this addon cos of how much impressed I am with the addon. There is a lot of YouTube videos which I watch over and over again and therefore its important for me not to have to stream it everytime. Not only do the addon work great but the updates to keep up with the ever present changes to YouTube is also excellent. Great addon all around. Thx

I can't say about all the 'Add-ons' but I have been using 'YouTube Downloader' successfully without any problems. This is an important feature as I can view and review downloads where ever I go where there is no Wi-Fi or no internet connection. I really like this and could sincerely recommend this Add-on as it works flawless. Thanks for this privilege. I am sure that I will explore the other Add-ons in the future as it becomes necessary. Thanks for this.

Dishita since you started so called updating the program it has gone from good to extremely bad video extension. Updating just make extra buck. Once upon a time it was best video down loader utility.

This add-on is working great on Mozilla Firefox. Thumbs Up.

I have downloaded hundreds of videos with it. It works perfectly.

awesome addon

It works, and it is easy to use

Although I have not used this product feature long at all sometimes you can just tell when their is a sincere effort behind it that makes you believe it really is..a sincere effort. If I see that I'm happy to write a review and I look forward to using it. I always commend someone's efforts to make things better!

This is a really great product! It worked when I was having trouble with every other downloader I had tried. It's worth the money to upgrade to Pro!

You don't need "server infrastructure" to download and merge DASH, you only need FFmpeg and a command line. There are free utilities anyone can use. Ridiculous.

This is the best YouTube video downloader there is! It allows you to download in multiple formats. Donating a measly little $5 will get you the pro version which is so fast and easy to use. I highly recommend using this add-on for downloading YouTube videos. Either as videos or mp3 files.

COOL SOFTWARE ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME AN ADD ON THAT IS MANDATORY.still using from win 7 to win 10 still works great.

This application is constantly updated. The developer is always on top of changes. I works well, it's dependable, and so very easy to use.
The YouTubeVideoDownloader may be used for free, I know, but it is WELL WORTH the $10 or $20 you donate to help out.
