Svar forritara
birti fyrir 2 árum síðanCurrently, we're unable to reproduce the issue, but we suspect it may be caused when updating from version 4.9 to 4.10, and then to 4.11-4.12.
The problem may be in the data left from version 4.9. Unlike Chromium-based browsers, Firefox does not delete extension storage when you uninstall it, even in debugging mode.
Try resetting Ant Video downloader, go to Settings - Reset, click the WIPE OUT AND RESET button. This will delete any data in the extension storage, and reload the extension.
Let us know in the support if this helps you solve the issue.
Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience. - Gefið 1 af 5eftir Firefox user 14554338, fyrir 2 árum síðanbe very careful with this, there's a huge memory leak, I was at 20,000mb yes 20gb in my firefox browser in the last week or so, 01-06-2022 and I thought something was wrong with my net connection, updating games or devices, nothing, and I turned off about 25 addons in firefox, it was the ant. it took over 5-6gb just in the main window with nothing in it waiting to browse with some text boxes of other interesting news ff plops on there for $. when the meory leak is fixed, I'll put this back to 5/5.

Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience. - Gefið 1 af 5eftir Gullideckel, fyrir 2 árum síðanIt worked great until today. Now it eats all the RAM it can get and a lot of CPU immediately after browser startup. Currently, the addon makes using the browser impossible, so I had to disable it.

Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience. - Gefið 1 af 5eftir Dwan, fyrir 2 árum síðanThis Addon used to be so great so this pains me to write this review.
The new update after V4.8 messed everything up on my PC. This update made my browser so slow and laggy that I thought I had malware on my computer. I even uninstalled and reinstalled my browser and performed a system restore which all turned out to be unnecessary because the culprit of my problems was right under my nose all along and I didn't even know it.
Once I disabled the Ant Downloader performance on my browser all returned to normal with no more lagging. I hate to say it but this is a BAD extension now and I don't intend to use it anymore unless their are same massive changes in the works to get this extension back on track.
Do better AVD!Svar forritara
birti fyrir 2 árum síðanSorry you had to perform extra steps to restore normal browser activity. Next time try running Firefox in safe mode first (firefox.exe -safe-mode).
Our TO-DO list with new features that users send to support and want them in AVD does not fit the screen. There is such term as "growth pain": sometimes we're making big changes to AVD to extend it and make new features possible. Inevitably there will be issues at first; version 4.10-4.12 is the largest change since 2017. No matter how well we test each version before release, there can be pitfalls we're unaware of unless we release the version to the wide public.
Please, perform reset of the extension at Settings - Reset, and let us know if you still encountering the issues.
Thank you. - Gefið 1 af 5eftir Firefox user 13425481, fyrir 2 árum síðan

Now it takes forever (up to 5-10 minutes for the videos to be detected) and there is no button to clear the cache. It still lists downloads on sites from several week ago which totally clutters the video list. I've had to remove the add-on and reload it to try to clear this annoying cache memory.

- Gefið 1 af 5eftir Joshua, fyrir 2 árum síðanWhat once was great with release 4.9, is now 100% junk with version 4.10. Instead of just listing vids, downloading/downloaded it now logs every vid that runs on any web or social media site. There are better, easier, to use, down-loaders for YouTube, Twitter, Facebook ect..., than Ant. Just wait until you try to delete or clear the Ant list. What fun that is. IMO, ANT is nothing more than another form of spy/tracking ware. I have dumped it and will not go back to it after reloading version 4.9. that now runs with the newer junk as well.

Worst update ever...
There is not just 1 problem, there are many.
The popup to start the download only appears as a small white line, downloads simply stall, the list of videos grows and grows and cannot be reduced in size.
It used to be great, but now it is a mess...
Please, in the next update, go back to a simplified and user-friendly version !Svar forritara

The popup to start the download only appears as a small white line, downloads simply stall, the list of videos grows and grows and cannot be reduced in size. (Why can't I turn this off), deleting does not work, the browser now always needs 1 complete CPU (with me about 12% CPU load), the video lists for download do not update, the UI remains, although the download probably continues in the background goes, the new UI is terribly confusing. I have to click 20 times before I get the list of the latest downloads. (This is actually the only list I need, the others are superfluous) ...Svar forritara

We are sorry that you are facing these problems after the update. - Gefið 1 af 5eftir Private Use, fyrir 2 árum síðanEvery "update" of FireFox Ant just gets worse and worse.
The 1st update caused download speeds to slow 90%.
Then another update caused the downloads folder to show the wrong location.
Yet another update caused a video list to appear on a tab that had *NO* videos on it.
Then another update caused a ton of .txt files to appear as if they *ARE* videos.
The current update displays the file names and size with the ends all chopped off.
And everything locks up until the Windows Desktop is refreshed/rebuilt.
100% CPU load from FireFox.
Ugh.

Anyway, the new version is going to be released soon. - Gefið 1 af 5eftir Firefox user 13793349, fyrir 2 árum síðanI'd rate this 5 but when this add on gets laggier the more videos I download. Often times when I click the add on icon, the download panel doesn't show up until over 10 minutes later.. it's just ridiculously laggy. Plus on the add on tab, filter by tab is pretty much useless since the tabs title isn't even there, instead it's just some numbers. How am I supposed to figure out which tab is it.
Svar forritara
birti fyrir 2 árum síðanThose aren't some numbers, those are tab identifiers, assigned by the web browser. We can add title to each tab in the list, but title is constantly changing, and soon will become irrelevant to those videos that were detected. Note that there is a small button 'Switch to tab' that switches to the tab, on which videos were detected.
We're rolling out version 4.12 on the next week, where All videos page is going to function like the old Downloads page. Hope you'll like it and will yet rate us with 5 stars :-) - Gefið 1 af 5eftir Firefox user 16308997, fyrir 2 árum síðanIt is a mess till last update. Best Downloader before, unusable now.

Now it's bloatware that crashes firefox and causes massive memory leaks. Some genius decided to mess with something that didn't need to be messed with. Pity.
**UPDATE
Useless developers are now telling users to reset the add-on when the massive memory leak occurs and assume this is actually a fix. Laughable. Devs, you need to trash this update and go BACK to the old version pronto.Svar forritara

Interface is messy, hard to see what videos are being downloaded,cannot delete history. 4.11 attempted to fix the history problem by adding a clear files tab, problem is it doesn't work. The last 2 updates are good examples of how to take a good product and destroy it.

birti fyrir 2 árum síðanPlease contact with more details about with Clear List feature problem to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - Gefið 1 af 5eftir orzys, fyrir 2 árum síðanThis was a great if not the best addon of its kind. Now after the 'revamp' it is unusable. The new UI is messy, the settings are severly lacking, it does not show the videos to the right sorting rules, it shows videos from all tabs in a specific one, it goes on and on. It is a nightmare. Unusable at this current state. Need a rollback as soon as possible or this is going to go to the addon graveyard.
Edit: Now, and apparently it happened to plenty others according to comments. Something happened in the past day or so, and there is a crazy memory leak. To the point not just firefox froze and became unusable, but I had to force boot my machine. Had to manually remove each addon to be sure Ant was the culprit, even though it was the obvious suspect.Svar forritara
