- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14052905, 7 years agoThey added QR codes at the top left corner.
Add on ruined, uninstalled. - Rated 1 out of 5by Yatima, 7 years agoBe warned that you need to install an external windows app to download videos. But that's just the begining: after downloading the video, the extension/app need to "process" it. Why? To put a big QR code watermark into the video *sic*. To do that, your CPU will burn like it was mining crypto. So this extension it's a complete nonsense to me. My advise is to stay away from Video DownloadHelper and use something like youtube-dl instead.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14048607, 7 years agoDOWNLOADHELPER worked just fine until a couple of days ago. Now it shows an ERROR page with the comment " we are sorry for that but shit happens"....rather unapropriate for such a worldwide program....!
Any idea why this happened? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12883884, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14044729, 7 years agoDepuis une mise à jour de Firefox, obligation d'installer une application supplémentaire. De plus un QR code est incrusté dans les vidéos téléchargées.
- Rated 1 out of 5by RichRain, 7 years agoThe videos I download & open in MP4 format have jittered, frame-skip playback. Only by using VLC can I watch the corrupt files without jittering.
And for other media I wish to download, there is no MP4 available, but rather other more obscure formats (e.g. MKV?) which also do not open & run properly in standard programmes. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13603584, 7 years agoRubbish. Don't even bother. Shit. Webm shit. Did I say crap.

- Rated 1 out of 5by 海墨, 7 years agoforce users to install another software called "Companion App"
seems to be malware - Rated 1 out of 5by Ronye, 7 years agoUsed to be very good. Now, it forces to install companion bloatware on Windows.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou should read the explanations that come with the companion app install request. You would have understood why this has become necessary since Firefox Quantum. - Rated 1 out of 5by Geoff Rogue, 7 years agoI used to use this extension to download picture galleries, but I can't do that anymore. It looks like the dev doesn't really care to fix it, so it's not a worthwhile extension anymore.
- Rated 1 out of 5by neooffs, 7 years agoPuts a HUGE QR Code on the video. Not worth saving stuff like this.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13975355, 7 years agoHört oft auf zu funktionieren, lastet FF total aus, nervt mit Spendenanfragen
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 11848578, 7 years agoLeider funktioniert der Video DownloadHelper nur bei niedrigen Bildqualitäten. Wenn man Videos mit großer oder HD Qualität runterladen will, gibt es regelmäßig ein verzerrtes Bild.
Daher ist dieses Add-On nur eingeschränkt nutzbar. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12895220, 7 years agoUne autre appli est nécessaire, et le gratuit devient payant.

- Rated 1 out of 5by IDoKnow, 7 years agoffmpeg.exe co-application uses 70-90% of CPU resources and is super slow in aggregating. Errors occur and downloads fail.
Used to be the best download addon before FF Quantum.

A recent update made FF so slow as to be unusable!!!
