Requires payment to remove giant watermark.

Требует слишком много разрешений и установки дополнительного програмного обеспечения. Раньше было топовым дополнением которое я ставил первым теперь полное дно.Удалил. Теперь перешел на FVD и Download flash & video

Do not download !!!!!!!...as mostly everyone has said ..used to be great not anymore!!!!!!

Требует установки конвертатора, когда он априори не нужен, и потом требовать купить лицензию.

Requires the installation of a converter, when it is not needed a priori, and then demand to buy a license.

THIS THING IS SO WHACK NOW!!!!! used to be so easy and convenient now this conpanion stuff is trash dont download

was good. not anymore. now asking you to install companion app and very slow. would not recommend downloading

Like all recent reveiews say, this USED to be a great addon. Now it doesn't do anything without a "companion app". It needs too many permissions for my liking too. Used to be a 5-star addon, now if I could rate it 0 I would. Uninstalled.

Contains hidden fees. First they take you to their website and make you install an external application, then when you try to use it, it sends you to their website again and says you have to buy the add-on.

Watermarks videos. Unacceptable.

Video DownloadHelper was a great tool for me to preserve the videos I like. It's was awesome!
Unfortunately, it's now asking users to install companion app so that it can combine unwanted QR codes with the video that users are trying to download. Even worse, the re-encoding process proceeded by the companion app needs much CPU resources to deal with, and for sure users are not willing to watch this happens.
Goodbye, VDH.

This used to be a great add-on, now it's a spam engine that will nag you with an unwanted tab every time you open firefox - whether it be for a 0.0.1 update, or a reminder to download the "optional" companion app required to save 90% of the video resolutions and formats that used to be free

I can't really recommend you to try another add-on doing the same thing, since there is none at the moment on firefox quantum... but the moment someone with a bit of time on their hands develops an alternative, just *ditch* downloadhelper - it had its heyday, but now it's just an annoying piece of spamming nagware.

And just to be clear: i don't fault the author for requesting donations, that's perfectly fair... it's the method he's using to bully people into handing over cash that make me want to grab a bucket and lean over it

My recommendation: disable video downloadhelper, and only enable it when you really need to try grabbing a vid

RIP video downloadhelper

Used to be really good, would download anything. Then this weird companion app? Gives me a bad feeling..... so now it's gone, gone, gone.

Completly crazy. Dowloader needs to install external program and during download it puts big QR Code watermark in video !!!
It takes long time.
You have to pay 28$ to remove watermark.
One word: shit.
Don't recommend.

?????????????????????????? Companion ?????????????????????????????????????

Companion app? QR code? More than 25$ for a license?...It was a great addon, now it's just a cash machine, too bad...

I loved it, now I hate it. It just does not work. Companion app? I hope you are joking.

v 7.0.0: now coming to you with all the goodness of a huge ugly QR splash code embedded in the output, now takes 20min to acquire and assemble (with some previously unnecessary 2nd processing app) whlile running the CPU at 500% for the whole time, only to generate unwatchable output that frequently does not have audio sync w/video.

am reverting to FF56 after much aggravating time spent trying to come to terms w/FF57 and have come to the conclusion that it truly sucks, yet another sad bellwether that mozilla has jumped the shark. this app was the last straw in that decision, 7.0.0 is revlocked to FF57, none of the previous versions will work on 57. fortunately the previous versions will work just fine on FF56. for how long is anyone's guess but that at least gives me some time to find a workaround.

LAUGHABLE. was previously a very reliable and turnkey app that left me with warm fuzzies towards the developers. you people truly, wondrously screwed the pooch. if only I could give it no stars.

Use to be able to record livestreams with this add-on. I can still record using the companion app which is a seperate download but for some reason with the firefox v57 quantum update you removed the STOP button which normally would save the recording as is when you hit it. Why was this done? Now I can no longer stop a live stream recording and save the video. If I exit browser during a live stream it results in a file that cannot be played. Can you please add the STOP button back to the live stream recording companion app?
