Hello all, I must admit that I am about to completely give up on Firefox browser as it keeps getting less and less convenient to use....
My most recent issue is that I cannot find a single video downloader application that will work on any website that plays videos. I used to use Any Video Downloader, but as the Firefox people kept updating the browser that fell off, and doesn't work anymore. Then for about the last year or so, i had been using the Video Downloadhelper addon, but recently that no longer will work either because it is demanding that I upgrade the Companion app., except it will not allow me to install it because of Apple Macintosh security stupidity, so I cannot use that now. Other than those two addons, none of the others seem to find a video that they can download half the time. This includes all the recommendations I have found online including the 'Video Downloader Pro', which cannot find a suitable format for most online videos, and the 'Video Downloader professional' which also cannot seem to even find videos on websites that clearly have a video playing.
I have tried many others as well, but none of them are reliable to work on any video I find, and I am sick to death of desperately trying to find a working downloader addon that will not be patched out by the Mozilla team next month, so that they can 'keep with the times' or whatever.
Can anyone suggest a useful addon to download videos from websites that will work for ANY videos I find anywhere please??
Thanks in advance!!
PS. I think I got it to work by going to about:config, and changing the 'media.play-stand-alone' to False, but that still leaves only the ability to download the videos in HUGE files, like at least 300mb or more, which is also not a good solution.
