- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16751724, 2 years agosays "the use of native app is disabled in the settings" but when you click on the message it opens a black page.
the supposed explanatory page has a general screenshot of the settings menu with no specific setting shown.
no setting in the privacy tab in the setting makes any sense about the disabling the app.
support page requires a signing up process.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jomas, 2 years agoEvery time Ant requests to download native apps data. I don't agree with this system. The video conversion should be managed by Ant and give back a link for download. Otherwise it becomes like a program to install on pc.
Developer response
posted 2 years agoPlease note that you still able to download regular video without Native Application.
Unfortunately some features related to the streaming video download is unable without tools included to Native Application. - Rated 1 out of 5by KaptainCnucklz, 2 years agoInstalled it. It then immediately redirected me browser to something one of my adblock filter lists considered a malware risk site.

Uninstall/reinstall addon and native app is not better.
Wipe out an reset work, but only for some days.
Must reset every 2-3 days for have not too much problem.
It's like if all videos detected are never deleted of the memory of the addon, and continu to use ressources.
PS: Sorry for bad english level.Developer response
posted 3 years agoIf you still encounter the issues after the wipe out and reset operation please contact with details about your system and visited websites to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Rated 1 out of 5by MOReGANja, 3 years agolike all the other reviews say, this extension USED TO BE the best. But at the end of 2021 they made it useless, now all it does is freeze up firefox and if you don't remove it fast enough it will freeze your entire computer. There are no fixes as of Jan 29, 2022. Uninstalling and reinstalling DOES NOT fix anything, uninstalling and reinstalling the native app will also DO NOTHING TO FIX IT, it will work for a day or two but then it will go right back to freezing everything. Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox will also not fix the issue. It's a real shame that they ruined this extension it worked great for years, but now it's completely worthless.

Please contact to our support in case of any problems: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Rated 1 out of 5by Cristian, 3 years agoThis extension used to be one of the best video downloader up until the end of 2021. Moving to the new interface and changing the native app code (the file size is 4 time bigger), it slows down FF so much that it cannot even load the drop down menu to show the detected videos.
I disable this extension for the moment until the developers decide to make it work again.
Update: I did reset (wipe out) the extension and I also contacted the developer with their support form. They answered that the extension is meant for more powerful computers (as if an i7, 8GB RAM is a low end computer?)Developer response

Increased Native App size is related to the new tools added for checking the streams befor downloading.
