So I was having the same issues some people were having with this extension. in the past I donated to get the download app because it was just easier and the extension was broken. but now that says "this app has expired" every time I clicked on it. This is because its simply out of date, you should have gotten an email with a thank you for donating and a link to the app, go back there and re-download the installer, for me this is now fixed. I would like to see a message or a direct link to the updated installer in the extension description though.

P.S. old version 0.7.1 new version 0.8.0 of the installer

Very nice add-on that works very well. Author is responsible and helpful.

Doesn't work well until now.

Doesn't seem to work. Just stuck saying "Generating download link, pls wait". Tried multiple times and multiple videos. Still the same. Uninstalled.

Doesn't work in waterfox, an open source fork of firefox. Like a reviewer below said: No download button appears and [when] trying to download directly from the toolbar, it just keeps saying generating link but never does

Works perfect (July 2025)

"Easy Video Downloader" is very useful. They continue to update the app. against the YouTube's continuous changes in their specifiation.

Doesn't work.

No download button appears and in trying to download directly from the toolbar it just keeps saying generating link but never does

Zero anything. No buttons appear, no links appear, no shortcuts appear, nothing on the toolbar. It's like it was never installed. Reinstalled, nothing. Restarted Firefox numerous times, restarted entire PC twice. Nothing happens at all.

I've been using you-tube down
loaders for many years and this is by far the best I have found.

I've donated maybe 4 or 5 times now hoping the app might work which it never did after Youtube did something to the algorithms.; then Dishita released the standalone version that worked very well outside of the browser. BUT now it says this app has expired? Which means .. do you expect me to donate again? Is this the plan to force people that have supported you like I did to donate forever?

For those using the first version working with firefox as extension ,forget it .This version is no longer working .Try the new version working separately from firefox and not as an addon . This new version works perfectly and Dishita did an extremely good job .Don't hesitate to donate to encourage him because it's worth it .Many thanks to Dishita .

This app is PHENOMENAL! Better than any other YouTube downloaders! It works like a dream and is super-fast. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out on a fantastic invention!!

I donated to upgrade to Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express and I'm so glad I did. Even though it is currently a beta version I haven't experienced any issues. I did contact customer support as the link stopped working to access the app. I received a response in less than 24 hours with a link to download the latest beta version. I followed the instructions and everything works flawlessly. I recommend this program without reservation.

The button to select what to download doesn't appear, and when I open the add-on directly from the Firefox toolbar, it stays thinking and trying to generate a download link but doesn't do anything.

I have been using Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express by Dishita as my primary site for years. Nothing else beats it. Over the years there has been snags and bugs that are always fixed and emails are always answered quickly and efficiently when there are issues going on. Not sure how she does it but Dishita always takes the ever changing struggles of providing this addon to us and kicks its ass. I try to donate when I can but I'm sure it's not as much as what I really think this add-on is worth. It's a great tool and easy to use. Everyone should be using it and thanking Dishita for providing it.

This app is so fast and easy to use!
You need to make a donation, but I guess that's okay for this quality.
The support is also great, I got a quick response when I emailed a question.

Thank you to all the developers for creating such a great app!
Live long and prosper.

Very prompt response from developer that willing to solve your issue. Customer service is excellent, they went above and beyond. Super easy to use, works on other sites too.

Ne fonctionne pas.
Doesn't work.

lädt ewig und nichts geschieht. Video läßt sich nicht herunterladen bei mir.

YouTube stuck an add on to the URL and really goofed me up for awhile. After emailing backand forth we got it worked out. You never gave up on me and now it works perfectly. I would recommend this Downloader to everybody. Before YouTube messed with the URL I had been using the Downloader for over a year with absolutely no problems.

Sorry didn't work at all. Download button occasionally shows up after a couple refreshes but its always greyed out and the toolbar button just processes forever. Went through the support steps which mentioned opening in incognito but same problem.
