(01/21/2025) Addon „Video DownloadHelper“ works a long time properly. Since 3 days it is telling „there is no media detected to work on“ each time I try and even the Youtube video is running fine. Windows (11 23H2), Firefox 134.0.2 (64-Bit) and Video DownloadHelper addon (9.1.2.0). Seems like I’m not the only one having this issue. I’m waiting for a fix.

Since two days the app is greyed out and doesn't work anymore.

You can get the extension to work on youtube again by downloading the BETA version from here:

downloadhelper.net/w/Beta-versions

I only left 1-star so that other users can see it, I will edit the review later once the issue is fixed.

it shows as installed on my computer but after the latest Firefox update is inactive. Have tried to install it again, no result

this addon sucks, the normal version doesnt work on half of the sites and the beta version does, but when you download something the resulting video has a quarter of it covered with a horrendous qr leading to his page

Do NOT buy this. I paid money for it and it was perfect for downloading YouTube videos. It suddenly stopped working. it finds nothing, NOTHING to download.
Completely stopped working without any explanation.

Work somewhat well on YouTube until a few weeks ago, it started downloading all of the videos in German and I know for sure the people in the video spoke only English. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, reset settings nothing helped. In the U.S.A Was a great free downloader until the end of 2024

1/22/2025. Not working at all with YouTube. Some on the forum claim a beta version works. Is that available anywhere?

UNTIL TODAY IT WAS GOOD, IT IS DOESNT WORKING ON YOUTUBE!! I NEED IT WORKING ON IT URGENTLY! PLEASE FIX IT T___T I am in Firefox

No longer works with youtube.
Submitted complaint to firefox for lying about compatibility.

Bonjour EXCELLENT... mais depuis hier ne fonctionne plus... notamment sur youtube....

Et maintenant, le module vient de se mettre à jour et depuis il me remet un QR code sur les vidéos et me demande d'acheter une licence de conversion que j'ai déjà achetée et qui manifestement n'est plus prise en compte depuis la mise à jour !!! C'est du vol, non ?

ダウンロードできません。

its not working any more...

Worked one time but doesn't work anymore. I am really deceived.

please be aware that they put a huge qr code on the video and only tell you after you downloaded it for way too long.

This application worked wonderfully well for several years. It was a very useful tool for downloading videos.

Now for a few months it is absolutely horrible! Nothing works anymore even though I always had the paid version! Reading the comments here and in several forums on the Net, I'm not the only one (not an isolated case) to suffer from this problem...

In the meantime the developer continues to solicit donations rather than correct the problem (you have to believe that he does not care at all as long as the money comes in) ... Really unfortunate and shocking!

In short, do not buy! Do not waste your time with this !

* PS: Mozilla should look more closely before continuing to authorize this application ...

Cette application a fonctionné merveilleusement bien pendant plusieurs années. C'était un outil très utile pour le tééléchargement de vidéos avec presque rien a son épreuve.

Maintenant depuis quelques mois c'est tout à fait horrible ! Plus rien ne fonctionne malgré que j,ai toujours eu la version payante ! À lire les commentaires ici et dans plusieurs forums sur le net, je ne suis d'ailleurs pas le seul (aucunement un cas isolé) a subir ce problème...

Pendant ce temps le développeur continue a solliciter des dons plutôt que de corriger le problème (faut croire qu'il s'en fou complètement en autant que l'argent rentre)... Vraiment dommage et choquant !

Bref, n'achetez pas ! Ne perdez pas votre temps avec ça !

* PS: Mozilla devrait y regarder de plus près avant de continuer d'autoriser cette application...

HUGE watermark on video if you don't have a license. Not recommended.

It's a paywall. Do not download it.
YT-DLP can do all of it, but free.

Good video but playback speed is sus and has been translated from English into German. :-(

stopped working Always error. Reported it but nothing yet!
