Video Saver addon legitimate or scam?
Has anyone tried the addon Video Saver at ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-saver-free/reviews/ ) ? Seems a tad odd as 98% are five star reviews and all done over a 2 day period by user names such as 22413a, ee3b27, 5c18e8, 492c50, bcd065, etc and all are just 5/6 word reviews. So hard to find a 4k video downloader but this seems to be a scam.

Hi. This forum is intended for offering technical support assistance for Firefox users. We do not provide suggestions about add-ons, since they are developed and maintained by third party developers.
Sorry.

Yes, that sounds like many planted user reviews to "bump" the stars rating up. As far as those nonsensical user names, that is due to anonymous user names; no need to register and create an account any longer, which IMO devalues the ratings system making it a farce since that was changed.
