    Until the recent update, this extension was great and captured video within the documented restrictions (so 4*). Unfortunately, the recent update broke it completely and every attempt to record now fails with error message 'TypeError: The stream (in errored state) is not in the writable state and cannot be closed'. How can users revert to the previous working version and prevent update?

    Your objective to make it dumber succeeded, it's now so dumb it doesn't work at all. :(

    Cool, thanks for the report.

    You can downgrade from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/live-recorder/versions/ (and toggle off auto updates for this add-on from about:addons), meanwhile I'll try and see if I can find & fix the bug soon.

    Could you tell me, which version of FF are you using? And more details on when this happens (during recording? during download?), how and how often it happens (every time?), would make it easier to find this to fix this.

    Clicking the record button doesn't do anything.

    I will add an indicator for "no media found on website," sometime, once I next update this.

    Make sure the video/audio is playing when you click the button, or otherwise it's probably a bug on a specific website.

    Perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of this add-on... But it does nothing. I click the button and nothings happens. Neither on youtube nor on blabla.adobeconnect.com and not on any other website I tried.

    You should see the small status bar thingy. I might rework the UI to use the add-on popup one day, because the current one is buggy. Try again once that happens. (not sure when)

    Does not work, crashes randomly while recording and sometimes it simply disappears ...

    The recorder is still experimental tech from Mozilla, and constantly evolving. The UI is a bit difficult to keep consistent on all websites, since they all have their quirks.

    If people would leave information like which websites they meet these difficulties on, so I could troubleshoot, then that would be helpful.

    Some info on how it's not working would help improve this addon in the long run.
