V10 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)_/¯

The 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.

Hate the new update. It's clunky and difficult to manage. Many options are just gone. Please revert.

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.

Encore une mise a jour qui met la merde.. quasiment plus un seul site ou je chargeai ne fonctionne
Another update that's messing things up... almost no website I load on works anymore.
Where is the old version?

latest update made it ruined it use v9.5

No loading, low speed, stable after 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.

穩當好用

Great extension.. until v9.5

self-destruction

V10 is GARBAGE! Avoid it at all costs! Do not upgrade to it, and if you already have, rollback to the previous version. If you use V10, you will regret it very soon and for the rest of time. V9.5 is 5 stars, V10 is 1 star.

Ruined it. New version just popped up on my install and now my downloads don't complete, they stall and sites I've left continue to try and offer downloads. RUINED IT.

New update completely ruins this extension. Heres hoping we can go back to a time before this extension became low quality paid slop

This is the best to download. I could use this with AudioHero.com to grab those SFXs and maybe some music.

Was working great until the latest update. Downloads have now slowed to a crawl.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING UPDATE!!! Not to mention, I am searching for something different and suggest others do the same. Others say "watermark"? Are you joking? Why are all videos coming from one IP? Before every video downloaded from different IP and process was not under Firefox, but rather under FFMPEG, and I could NetLimit every video individually on constrained 4G internet. It is a joke. Downloads failing left and right. Non-descript streams, need to dive into "details" window to determine what language I am downloading. Before I was downloading LAV 720p (video together with audio), but now forced to download ENG together with video stream and have to download LAV audio seperately. Why 3 identical audio streams? WHERE CAN I SEE AUDIO BITRATE DIFFERENCES ON DIFFERENT STREAMS??? Exactly... nowhere. Before it worked with just one A/V stream showing. Where is temp folder, not "dwhelper" anymore? FUCK FANCY ANIMATIONS!!! I need functionality. What is this shit, pay to win?

Excellent module, fast and convenient, easy to use and works on many many video players. Repost because : December 2025 update is aweful as of now, let's wait and see if functionalities come back.

Unusable after the newest update. Every download fails.

What have you done? The Dec 25 update is awful. The interface is terrible and there is no option to use the old interface and download method meaning you are forced to use the built in crappy slow downloader. You took one of the most useful extensions and flushed it down the toilet.

The December 2025 update made it much better.
2025年の１２月のアップデートで非常に良くなった。
