It´s not easy to rate this particullar Firefox add-on. On one side it´s really usable gadget, helping to download vidoes from YouTube without bigger problems. But it has some "but"! After first few downloads on 1080/720p you start to realize, that was only a bait, beacause next hi-res videos can be downloaded only in payed add-on version! That´s a shitty trap. But when you aren´t too lazy, it´s possible to find a way to go around this unpleasant money launder. Every time, when you´ll make about 5,6 downloads.. or simply, when you realize, that no more hi-res downloads are possible without switching to payed version, you can simply go to Firefox settings and delete cookies and similar. Nothing more. After this step, the software can´t realize, you are behind the "free" bait and let you download next load of videos with good 1080 or 720p! And when you download really a lot material, you can every time make the same thing, during 3-4 clicking cleaning the cookies in settings and start downloading from starts again. I am too lazy to test all the YouTube downloaders in add-ons, to find if someone is able to download free unlimited amouint of videos in high resolution. Also i let this one active and after each 5th download, click to settins,(2nd) click to cookies, (3rd) clickto dlete them and that´s it. Few seconds, three clicks and next at least 5 downloads possible. Not so high price for the chance download every YouTube video i want. But now, i don´t know if i can reccomend this add-on. I managed to use it as i need, but don´t forget,the main idea is let you jump on the bait and then stop to make quality downloads or pay! And that´s not what i like.

most yt videos now offer multiple languages, today I used a vid with 13 languages offered in your (otherwise excellent) downloader. the language options make the downloader virtually unusable - wrong one downloaded. is there a workaround? thank you

Im in USA, the channel is in USA but when I download, it's in German...

Downloading shorts seems impossible. If you click the add-on it displays different download options but the file size is too small, so when opening them the video player does'nt do anything.

Normal Videos via the button besides the Videotitle works fine.

The Return of a hardworking extension just when it's needed most.

Why are most of the video's dubbed in German? I don't speak German. It does about as much good replacing the English with bad Google translated German for English speakers as it would be dubbing Italian video's with badly translated Chinese. Why? The only reason it's getting 3 stars is because some of the video's aren't dubbed with badly translated German.

I was able to download videos but twice it download the previous video instead of the one I selected. Hope you are working on this and solve it soon. we can't know it's wrong until download is finished.

Not working properly - videos freeze after first 30 seconds of play
Have to disable his add-on to play full video

The add on returned but with no MP3 download option.

The "Doanload as" button is broken. With every video, another one is added. I now have about 12. They obstruct the normal buttons. Can we have an option to hide it entirely?

worked amazingly for 30 downloads, after that it refuses to do anything until i buy the pro version

bad

I also have the Video Download Helper extension with the local helper app installed. This add-on succeeded on youtube when that one failed. I will likely keep it and just have it disabled until I need it, but it seems to work.

EDIT: Disabling it makes it clutter up the youtube page even more. The button spot turns into a bunch of html links to the videos. 4 Stars for it working when others failed, -1 star for it not fully disabling. I ended up removing it as it seems to be sketchy at this point.

At first, it worked perfectly. But, for the past few months, it hasn't been responsive at all.

The three star review is based on what the add-on offered before it stopped working.
