After updating Firefox, Downloadhelper doesn't work, even after deleting and reinstalling it. It runs and runs, but doesn't complete.

I've used DownloadHelper for years and have not had this problem before. It started about the time I did the update of Firefox, but I'm not sure that was the exact trigger. It appears that a download is being attempted as something is listed in the Firefox download list, but it never completes. I also tried installing 1-Click You-tube video downloader and had the same problem.

I was not using DownloadHelper 5, so the problem must be something else, and it also comes up with 1-click YouTube Downloader.

There is a problem with DownloadHelper in Firefox 36. They are working on a new version, which you can download and help test from this discussion page:
