- Rated 1 out of 5by dearroz, 5 years agoThe download helper use to be very good, but now it no longer provides the same service. Previously it provided multiple options for downloading a video but now only provides one from ADT. ADT is extremely slow in downloading and often the download fails to complete. On occasion it downloads the video but not the audio. I use it both on Win 10 and Linux Open Suse.
The problems I am guessing occurred via some updates, not sure if it was Firefox or Download Helper. I did not make any changes so it had to be a change in the software. I wish there were a better plugin since this one no longer provides proper service. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16416972, 5 years agoUsed to be great and helpful; now it doesn't work anymore without some shady "companion app" (i won't install your software outside Mozilla, sorry). Uninstalled after years of use. Pity.
- Rated 1 out of 5by N FF M, 5 years agoI understand that they need funding for this add-on but £18.50 seems excessive considering there are several free alternatives.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Jeyson, 5 years agoSoundless videos, watermarked videos, or not detected at all. Too many struggles for such popular extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by kazerniel, 5 years agodoesn't save video, only audio, even with the companion app installed (also it says it would watermark converted videos)
- Rated 1 out of 5by Lucas, 5 years agoThis addon doesn't mention that it requires a paid license until it finishes downloading and converting the videos you save by adding a watermark. If they noted this before use I wouldn't be bothered; however, they don't mention this until *after* the video has finished processing which took nearly 20 minutes for a 4k video.
- Rated 1 out of 5by NimaSakibo, 5 years agoYou need a third party app AND a payed license to convert stuff. I can't even download most of the videos at all, and if so not as mp4 or another normal format.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Thom R, 5 years agoWorthless. Hangs. Not Intuitive to use. Progress halted on "aggregating" step, and then nothing happens after numerous attempts. I have already deleted it. It is of no value whatsoever.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Frank DiMichele, 5 years agoPerformed very poorly on test download of PBS video from youtube. The format in free version is very limited (if it ever completely downloads). It took extremely long to download file and never completed. The companion software was no better. I think this great extension is no longer that great. I would consider paying for software from many vendors that actually maintain good code and gui for this purpose or use one of many websites that do the job for you.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12774468, 5 years agoThis extension, although being recommended by the Firefox team, force you to install a third party app to be able to work.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13643929, 5 years agoНе работает. При попытке загрузки из меню плагина выдает окно о необходимости установки сторонней программы "хелпера". Не нужны мне всякие троянцы и показыватели рекламы!
