Used to work great but doesn't work after update

This extension saves me from buffering hell. The only gripe I have is with the documentation for the new Smartnaming method: I am not fluent in regular expressions and the few relevant options mentioned in the guide do not help me when cherry picking specific text on the webpage.

Until further notice I am using legacy mode so I can rely on XPath to search through div classes and specify normalizing white space, yada yada.
Edit: I wrote this hastily earlier with PLANS to use the legacy mode, but it seems to have been removed. Thanks for making me type out the titles.

Long time user The older version more stable! the new has many bugs. but also love the new abilities! when an issue with a video occurs i wish it would say witch one and not just there was an issue with a download! one of my sights videos i used the older version it worked great for now is a hit and miss on video downloads correctly. almost prefer to go back to last versions but would miss new options! hope things get fixed

업데이트 후 동작이 무거워지고 저장후 재생이 안되는 경우가 많아졌어요. 썸네일 안나와도 되는데 왜이렇게 무거운지.. 앞화면에 있던 찌꺼기랑 섞여서 주루룩 뜨는 목록이 어떤게 원하는건지도 모르겠고 이상해졌음

Yeah it's worse after the last update. Both slower downloads and overall worse interface. I will never understand why people update stuff to make it worse. I mean it's still the best downloader out there. It just became worse.

Good program, but the newest version made the experience worse for existing users. Settings were reset, an additional download is now required, the naming convention changed, the download folder changed to Firefox's default with no way to change it, and animated media previews are enabled by default & sometimes still show up when they're turned off. There's also a small number of sites this extension doesn't work with, where other video downloaders do seem to work.

Make it back the way it was before. You could save directly and specify a file name. Now, if you download three files, you first have to check what you've actually downloaded. It's completely ridiculous.
Stop making it worse. It was fine the way it was. Full stop!

The new download preview feature has made it easier to identify tasks.

This next section contains our requests.
We request that the download quality settings can be fixed/set as a default on the selection screen during download, as was possible in the previous version.
Additionally, we would like to still be able to specify a custom/dedicated download directory, just like in the previous version.

If multiple download files share the same name, we request that consecutive numbering (e.g., "xxx-1.mp4") be appended to the file name, following the order in which the download entries were made, just like in the previous version.If sequential numbering is not possible, we request that the download process strictly follow the order in which the tasks were registered.When file naming is dependent on the browser, the order can become irregular (unpredictable) when multiple download entries are made simultaneously.

The upgrade has made it less functional.　Unfortunately, while it was previously possible to assign the window title to the file name, it seems that the file name is now being retrieved from a different location than before, and the file name is not being set correctly. Please fix this.

Video Download Helper was the number 1 extension for downloads but the December automatic update killed the app. I had to download to version 9.5.0.2 and turn off automatic updates. Downloads now work again. Fix the problem with version 10.0.271.2 and I will give you 5 stars again.

V10 removes %pathname from smart naming makes one click saving a multistep operation(not sure if CSS selectors can replace, beyond my current knowledge), not sure why it was removed, you would think basic path names would still be useful.

Back on 9.5 until it's fixed, I find an alternate extension or workout CSS selectors for pathname. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had to go in and redo a lot of my preferences after the most recent update. Apparently I'm not the only one annoyed by it. Thankfully I was able to get the new add-on to work as it did. But that I had to take time to do so, with a completely new layout, after a single update is extremely frustrating.

Works reasonably well but often has trouble with youtube videos.

It works, but it has become more privacy invasive over time. Requires downloading a lot of random plug-ins.

Can you update it to the last version?? currently 10.0.271.2

its nice

Very good extension. Except on Windows, there is a QR code watermark and it asks me to get a 'conversion license'. That wasn't here before, and on LINUX, the QR code doesn't show up. I have high hopes for this extension since it works a ton, but putting a QR code watermark for Windows users is scummy.

This addon has never been really good, but unfortunately it is indispensable due to the lack of alternatives. With the last update it has become much worse. A proper download in Firefox is no longer possible. The developers are desperate to sell their own addon.
Alternatively, you can just copy the link and open it in the Free Download Manager. This is not comfortable.

Do not pay the $30.00 for "Lifetime Use"! Been there, did that. If your computer goes down, "Lifetime Use" meets with an early death and cannot rise up like Lazarus without throwing ANOTHER $30 to Video Download Helper.
This time, lifetime was only three weeks.
That said, the add on is really good. But, lifetime should mean lifetime.

Now its watermarked. BS.

Гарний був застосунок, але перестав працювати в оновленні Firefox 143.0.1 для Ubuntu

割合不安定です

YouTubeの仕様なんでしょうが、DLできる時とできない時があり、どちらかと言うとできない時のほうが多いです。その他のサイトでは問題なくDLできていますので良いのですが、自分の目的であるYouTubeでDLに難があるので星3つです。
