Version 2.6.2.1-signed 4.3 MiB Works with Firefox 3.6 - 16.0a1

This is a minor release to fix a bug introduced in 2.6.1. 2.6.1 could not disable the volume control feature. The check box is present, but it does not work. 2.6.2 corrects this.

Version 2.6.1.1-signed 3.6 MiB Works with Firefox 3.6 - 14.0

No more Duke! Duke the Java Mascot is now turned off by default.

Improved support for HTML5 youtube videos. Fixes for flash video downloads too.

Streamlined MP3 creation means fewer failed downloads.

Fixed Memory Leak (Zombie Compartments)

Split Windows and OSX installs into separate files for smaller downloads.

One Codebase now. Only the conversion tools differ.

Firefox now monitors file downloads instead of the plugin.

Version 2.4.4.1-signed 7.8 MiB Works with Firefox 3.0 - 12.*

First Mac OSX support (Intel Only).

Changed options dialog to behave like OSX dialogs on both Windows & OSX. There is no 'OK' and Cancel buttons, changes take effect and are saved immediately.

Fixed HTML5 support. This also lays the groundwork for an Android port (once I can afford to buy an Android phone).

Version 2.4.3.1-signed 3.7 MiB Works with Firefox 3.0 - 10.*

* Fixed bug in the toolbar button links not matching what was downloaded.
* Fixed bug where items were added to the toolbar multiple times.
* Fixed bug where a file name ending in an extension other than one of the 4 supported types would break the download.
* Added support for volume control for MP3s. MP3 volume is normalized to prevent huge changes in volume.

Version 2.4.0.1-signed 3.6 MiB Works with Firefox 3.0 - 9.0a1

New Features:

Support for downloading Flash video from more sites! Links to download are added to a toolbar button at the top of the screen.

A default bit rate option was added to Tools -> YoutubeMP3Podcaster -> Options.

Shrunk toolbar button to standard size.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed bug in the file dialog where the user would change the extension to download, but the download was being forced to the type the user clicked on in the UI.
2. Fixed bug where hiding the toolbar button broke downloads.
3. Fixed bug where youtube player wasn't loading completely for several seconds, breaking downloads. The plugin will now detect when the player hasn't loaded and wait to get the links.

I'm dropping support for Firefox 2.X. There are features in FF 3.0 that have become critical to enhancing the plugin.
