- Rated 4 out of 5by Scott, 7 years agoIt works great for downloading streamed shows. The first time I downloaded it, I couldn't get it to pick up the show being streamed but I re-installed it later on and it works fine now. One annoying thing is, that when saving a video or changing the save directory, it seems like you have a time limit to make your changes. I'll be changing the title of the video I'm saving and all of a sudden the browser tab just closes and I have to do it again only faster to make sure I hit save in time. Also another small annoyance is when deleting hits from the menu, the menu closes every time you delete one. It's just a small annoyance but it's a little bit tedious.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Anymouse524, 7 years agoVideo Download Helper is very easy to use when you want to save a copy of a video that you like. It lets yo9u set the folder where the file will go every time. One improvement on that feature would be to tie the download setting in Firefox to where the video is downloaded so you can either have a permanent download folder or let you set the folder on the fly, eliminating having to move the file later.. The notification when the download is done is a nice feature since larger files take longer. I would recommend Video Download Helper to anyone using Firefox!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14010463, 7 years ago是一个非常好的组件,可是有两点建议
1. 中国地区不能支付捐款
2. 能加入批量下载功能吗?一个一个点击下载体验很差劲。也许有这个功能,但我真的没有找到 - Rated 4 out of 5by Kakes, 7 years agoAll I've been looking for is an add-on that easily downloads videos streaming on my current web page. I used to use Ant Video downloader earlier but they changed their setup and now require some native app installed on the system, and I don't particularly like the sound of that.
Video DownloadHelper does everything I need and I would definitely recomment it to anyone who has similar requirements.
Cheers! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13879238, 7 years agoJe télécharge énormément de videos. Et ce outil s'est avéré un compagnon fidèle pour la plupart de mes besoins en téléchargement. Je le conseille vivement à toute personne voulant télécharger des vidéos sur youtube ou tout autre site de streaming. Il est presque parfait. La perfection est-elle de ce monde? :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13662700, 7 years agoA very good video down loader, very easy to use. Covers utube and a lot of other sites, one of the better mozilla down loaders.

- Rated 4 out of 5by explorer1251, 7 years agoIt takes a while to download ADP files with video and audio aggregating separately, but it still works, and there are often equal quality formats for the same video that work as fast and fine as usual. Maybe that's a small price to pay for a sleeker and faster Firefox. Otherwise, after getting used to a few adjustments, I think this is still the best downloader around.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Lacek, 7 years agoThis is a really good tool. It's great to use for downloading and converting videos.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14002558, 7 years agoWorks on websites where other extentions fail, like ard.de (german television)
Negative is the need for a companion app, and the very high CPU-load. - Rated 4 out of 5by Tonie, 7 years agodid a great job until it starts to put a watermark on the corner....
- Rated 4 out of 5by Borick, 7 years agoPretty good experience so far. I believe it could be improved.
You're limited to 4 simultaneous downloads, which obviously matters when you need to download a big volume of videos. 4 downloads is pretty decent deal, however it can get lower than that if one of your downloads couldn't start of properly - this will reduce your number of simultaneous downloads by one... until you reload the extension.
It is possible that sometimes downloads may crash - regardless of how good your internet connection is. In my experience, i had around 15 total failed downloads out of around 240 downloads made. It's not much, but it's worth mentioning that it can happen.
Another thing. Last time i tried - it was unable to pick up streamed content such as spotify music. I believe it would be a huge improvement to extension - making it more diverse. - Rated 4 out of 5by balazs, 7 years agoGood and very useful addon. What I don't like though is that cancelling downloads are also treated as errors.
