Hello!

I first installed Video Download Helper several weeks ago and it worked fine. However, since the update of 04 March, 2026, it no longer works with YouTube. (It does, however, still work with Instagram.) Having checked all of the settings (which I had/have not changed), I uninstalled it today and then re-installed it. This hasn't helped. With YouTube, the Downloader icon (pinned to toolbar) simply remains grey and does not show any videos when opened. I am using the latest, fully updated version of Firefox with Windows 10.

Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks,

Stuart.

Hi Stuart,

Apparently it should be already fixed with V10.2.5.2. See the related discusson at GitHub. If it still doesn't work after the update, I suggest you contact them there.

Youtute does updates often and one of the reasons for that is to try and break/block such video download extensions and tools from downloading YT videos.

Hi!

Many, many thanks for so kindly responding to my request for help! I noticed later that it had suddenly started to work again with YouTube. I should have "pulled" my request (sorry!).

Kind Regards,

Stuart
