The Web Extensions version is bad. Previous one was much better!

I do not see a place where i can down load the video and have the audio down load as well, I i can not find it on the options page at all there is nothing to down load or add to so that is automatic.Maybe one of you guys can do it but i can not at all.The old Youtube Dowloader had a very simple way to get it all.

I followed all instructions you claim work and I still get the error message about "something that went wrong" and if i have the client installed... I didn't miss anything during installation and I keep getting the same crappy error!!! Please provide a WORKING SOLUTION or a workaround for this or a decent alternative. Thank you.

Only support 1080 video, no audio

Heartbroken. The old version worked perfectly. The new version won't save to my desired YouTube Download folder path, and will not extract mp3 audio despite manually typing in the path to FFMpeg. Any chance on updating the old version that worked?

I will repeat what many others have repeated. I couldn't say it better than Anonymous user c94bff said 15 hours ago:

The old version let me do what I want to do, which is download the video and the extracted audio. It also REMEMBERS where I last saved a video/audio combination, so I don't have to keep traipsing around my hard drive to find the place to download.

WHY would you take a perfectly good program and break it so that it is only useful to complete tech-heads? It was fine before. It did what needed to be done. I have fiddled with this new version for about an hour now. I am done. GDit. I am so tired of having to go find alternate versions of things after the good version is broken by "improvements." What is wrong with "you people"?

The instructions say:
1. After installation, go to the options page and
-> 1. Install the native client (This is a small NodeJS client written by @andy_portmen)
-> 2. Install the FFmpeg executable
2. FFmpeg integration is required if high resolution video or audio files are preferred.
My questions are:
Where do I find the options page?
What is FFmpeg integration and how is it done?

This new version is a disaster to install and get it to run and it doesn't remember its last download location. I've chosen the option to not download audio, and the first thing it does is prompt me with a location to download an aac file. It's lacking a lot of customizable options Please do something about this, the previous version worked like a charm. This works like a nightmare.

Not clear on how to make it work. Options menu never shows.

The old version that was made by Inbasic is awesome. This is definitely garbage.
Saving option don't work. If you set right path to ffmpeg,that don't work.

I would actually give this add-on 10 stars, if it were the legacy version - the "old" one. But I was surprised with the notification of this one when I opened the browser this morning, and there was no Options page, no Button, and thank god I still had the other one installed. So, I tried the old one with a YT vid. song, and it worked beautifully. I disabled it, restarted my browser, and there still wasn't a button for this one, so it was useless to me. I checked to see if it was hiding in customization. Nothing. I used the legacy version 2-3 times a week, all the time, and never a problem one. It was perfect. I can see from the other reviews here, that I am one of MANY with the exact same problem. I do not know what to do now. I am using FF56. I hope this is resolved quickly. This whole transition has been a nightmare, and I need this. I'll probably end up going to Chrome like everyone else. Countless people are already packing their bags, as I write this. It is truly a shame. Thank you for a fantastic add-on - THE OLD ONE - though. I loved it.

Just as with the original, it is unclear from the configuration settings, what "you will get" upon choosing a download: a video-only file, an audio-only file, or a video with audio.

With the original, I know have it configured so that downloading a YouTube video delivers an mp4 video+audio and an mp3 audio-only. This is perfect, though I have not the foggiest which magical combination of unclearly worded settings gave me this wonder.

With the new WebFail version, I can not get the same result (video+sound, and audio). But worse, whatever setting I try, it downloads a video fail, then extracts an audio file, then deletes the video file under my eyes.

I downloaded and installed the extension. The instructions said to download an additional file from the options page. What options page? Where am I supposed to find it? There are no options given on the Firefox Add-on page. The old add-on worked great, this one doesn't work at all without an external file I can't seem to find. Also, I see lots of questions on this page, and no response whatsoever from the developer. So . . . the Add-on doesn't work and the developer doesn't respond. Why in the world would anyone want to deal with this nonsense?
