by wang kun, 4 hours agoThe upgrade has made it less functional. Unfortunately, while it was previously possible to assign the window title to the file name, it seems that the file name is now being retrieved from a different location than before, and the file name is not being set correctly. Please fix this.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19622100, 6 hours agoWorks brilliantly most of the times. Some videos dont get downloaded, but in general, its a fantastic tool.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12312903, 7 hours agoIt works like a charm. No watermark .I can’t understand the negatives reviews.
- Rated 1 out of 5by XXVII, 8 hours agoWorst update so far, the new interface is just good looking but sucks because it removes options and functionalities.
Just rollback to version 9.5.0.2 - Rated 5 out of 5by Archangel_Luzifer, 9 hours agoDownloads run nicely, is updated quickly if it does not work after changes. Very nice extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15746352, 10 hours agoyou should write a blog post "how to eff-up a pretty good downloader in one update" I noted this change earlier in the chromium browsers like Brave etc, Yesterday the same crud was pushed into Firefox. I don't understand the thinking, it's awful, going backwards in functionality (apparently) I've removed the five stars I put up not long after this addon first appeared and replaced it with this. Looks like the number of decent downloaders gets even smaller. Remove it and put the earlier one back up
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13588480, 11 hours agoAs others have stated, version 10 came with a fresh coat of paint and widescale destruction of previously working functionality. I, and many others have had to downgrade until these issues are fixed.
Guys... you have a beta testing branch. Isn't this the kind of stuff that should be staying there, until it's actually functional? - Rated 3 out of 5by Booff, 17 hours agoVideo Download Helper was the number 1 extension for downloads but the December automatic update killed the app. I had to download to version 9.5.0.2 and turn off automatic updates. Downloads now work again. Fix the problem with version 10.0.271.2 and I will give you 5 stars again.
- Rated 3 out of 5by lolboop, 18 hours agoV10 removes %pathname from smart naming makes one click saving a multistep operation(not sure if CSS selectors can replace, beyond my current knowledge), not sure why it was removed, you would think basic path names would still be useful.
Back on 9.5 until it's fixed, I find an alternate extension or workout CSS selectors for pathname. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19621258, 18 hours agoThe author of this extension. You're asking too much, buddy. Not only does the author ask you to install the program on your computer, but he also asks for too many permissions. With this kind of success, I might as well just use the built-in software from the graphics card manufacturer and simply record the screen. Or use free software to record any signal source in two clicks. Unfortunately, this is one of the worst extensions for Firefox. This buddy even asks for money.

- update unwittingly ruined my downloads. now its useless trash. now deleted from my pc. shame. i though it was a good addon until latest update.
EDIT:
you can use last update which works. im not allowed to attach the link. just google video downloadhelper older updates. - I had to go in and redo a lot of my preferences after the most recent update. Apparently I'm not the only one annoyed by it. Thankfully I was able to get the new add-on to work as it did. But that I had to take time to do so, with a completely new layout, after a single update is extremely frustrating.
