Does not support 1080p video download.
Otherwise works very fine. One of the most easy add-on to use.

This is a great add-on, works with everything.
i found if you uninstall it and reinstall then it works just fine again.
No longer works for most YouTube video Rated 1 out of 5 stars
This was awesome in its time. It no longer works for new YouTube videos. I use the paid version so I'm a little pissed about it.
This user has a previous review of this add-on.It depends. Rated 1 out of 5 stars
It seems that the add-on works for some files, but not for others, on Youtube.
I can no longer download the same file that I used to be able to with the DownloadHelper.
Would it be possible that some Youtube files have been modified so that the access with the DownloadHelper is blocked?

Atualmente o DownloadHelper nao funciona direito no youtube, noutros sites nao apresentou problemas
No idea why people are complaining Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works totally fine with YouTube for me and always has, just downloaded a video using it there, no problems at all. Sometimes required a page refresh before it realizes there's a video on the page, otherwise fantastic downloader and one of the first addons I install after installing Firefox.
Very easy to use and allows downloading in 720 and 1080p where available from nearly every video site excluding some such as BBC iPlayer and Channel4 OD.
Has ceased to work Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I given Video DownloadHelper 5 Stars because I been using it trouble free for years but now it's stopped working altogether and nothing I can do makes any difference.
This user has a previous review of this add-on.Hasn't been updated in months - Won't download 1080p Rated 2 out of 5 stars
It seems like it hasn't been updated in 6 months or more. Try 4K Video Downloader instead.

NO LONGER WORKS
Stopped Working Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I recently downloaded this addon , working fine for couple of days , now I'm always getting error for Youtube
'Failed to download "<song>": This is very likely due to third-party cookies being disabled in browser configuration' .
Upon checking the third-party cookies , this error is not coming but its downloading "<song>" of ZERO bytes . I even removed and reinstalled the addon without any luck.
Its very irritating ,also why is third-party cookies required?? . Win7 , FF 27.0.1 , DH 4.9.21 . So giving only 1 star until this is fixed.

Downloader does still work!
Mine stopped working, too. And i kept on downloading and installing it again and again without any effect. Then i pressed the orange Firefox Button -- Add ons. Then i deleted this Add-On. Restarted Firefox and downloaded the Downloadhelper new. And now it perfectly works again (after another Firefox restart for sure).
Downloader works fine. Can not be on the internet without it (no, not to download music).
Does work...MOSTLY Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Yes, of course the addon still works for most videos on most sites. It's not like it just stopped altogther...
What people are complaining about is legitimate. CERTAIN videos will not download (for example, those on Vevo channels). This has been a problem in the past. YouTube has been constantly changing code to make popular music and mainstream content more difficult to download.
What everyone is complaining about is that they changed something again, and now VDH doesn't work for those videos (again), and the addon hasn't yet been updated to overcome this change.
Go back through the support/bug reports and you'll see this has happened numerous times.

Works great (on youtube also), don't know why people are complaining. They should probably learn how to use it first (especially technical illiterates like the one saying you can't change the download folder).
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Awesome addon. I liked it so much that I have included it in my review which contains step by step instructions with screenshots on how to use it.

Answer for Nick Rated 1 out of 5 stars
@Nick Jurkowski You can change the default download folder. To do this right click the DH icon in firefox select preferences then go to Services then select the Download tab and where it says Storage directory click the Change Directory and select whatever folder you want and problem solved.

First, I want to mention that this add-on DOES work, despite the other reviews. My main complaint is that it DOESN'T let you set where the videos download TO. You're just stuck with a dwhelper folder in your home directory. I want them to go into the normal Downloads directory, but no option to do so. The other negative ding is for their "help" site. IT'S A JOKE! It just gives a multiple choice list with no "my problem isn't listed above" so that you can get their email address to contact them!! In short, a [mostly] excellent add-on with a couple of small pet peeves...
