Downloads even large audio files in seconds. You choose the format. There is absolutely nothing else like this that I am aware of.

While the interface is a little stark looking at first, it still finds and downloads videos just easily. The best thing about this add on is that it handles youtube's adaptive audio/video format without making you pay for "conversion software" (looking at you video downloadhelper) that can be done for free with available tools on the internet. As this add on aptly proves. Your Youtube experience isn't complete without this add on.

Best YouTube downloader there is that I could find!
Cons:
- Filenaming doesn't seem to working. I set it to "[filename] ([resolution])" but all I get it when I download is "[filename]"
- The information icons in the options menu don't work. I wish they did so I could better understand the options under the "Audio" tab (MUXing audio?).
- Wish there was an option to only display the highest quality video (similar to the highest quality audio option)

Are you on the problem that I already mentioned before?

I have tried several, and in the end, I concluded that there is none better than this. Try it, learn all its ways, install FFMPEG as required, be patient, and your rewards are ample. Works great in Linux Mint! Contribute to the programmer.

The advantage to Complete YouTube Saber (CYS) over other YouTube video downloaders is that it allows you to download a video in the highest resolution possible for that video. It also provides a host of additional download options. In order to accomplish all this, CYS relies on an external program called "FFmpeg."
CYS achieves full functionality only after you download and save the FFmpeg program to your computer. The program doesn't actually install; it just sits in the folder where you've saved it.
To his credit, the developer provides an interface within the add-on to facilitate the download. Unfortunately, the interface is somewhat confusing and defaults to an option to download FFmpeg in a format that requires you to install another program just to decompress the download. Who needs that?
It's best to avoid the built-in interface and download the latest version of FFmpeg manually. Go to the FFmpeg download site at
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
Select the appropriate options and click on the "Download FFmpeg" button. You'll get a zipped folder which can be decompressed in the usual way.
After you've saved the unzipped FFmpeg folder to the location of your choice, select the "FFmpeg" tab in CYS, select the option "I have already downloaded FFmpeg," and enter the location where you've saved it. Your file path will conclude with the "bin" folder of your unzipped download, within which the file "ffmpeg" resides.
Thanks for the 5 stars!!

With Mozilla planning to basically kill off most plugins going forward, I don't know if it will be smart to stick with FF.

CYS toolbar icon, remains visible and enabled either without submenus or worse, displaying a submenu for a video that was on a closed YT tab, even if no YouTube tabs are open and the "Always visible" option is unchecked, in last FF beta version 52.0 (64-bit).

Does not wanna save some videos, here is one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZsqfD_8Was What gives?
Save as did the trick, thanks :)
Are you using "Save to Default Folder"? Try "Save As", it should work. We are working on a fix for the default folder issue.

I' m using PM version of CYS 5.7.34 and it seems File Naming feature doesn't work at all now. With CYS 5.7.32 it didn't always work properly either (ever since the 0-byte issues started to pop up with music videos few weeks ago) but switching to a different tab and then back usually fixed it. No matter what tags I use (normally [filename] - [video_id]), I just get the video title, nothing more.
I'm on Pale Moon 26.5.0, I also tried it on a different PC with a new install of PM 27 and it's the same story.
We are fixing this...

Tested CYS 5.7.34 on Firefox 50.1.0 64bit, Windows 7 64bit SP 1.
Until so far, really all videos were downloadable without any problem or delay (tested 400+ videos). No unusual browser behavior - smooth as always.
Downloaded videos play fine.
And finally even the 0 bytes bug is gone for good. This absolutely made my day.
I've used CYS since long time (even before they were at Patreon) and I can only say 'thank you' to the devs!!
Everybody, please keep in mind that the devs are doing a really good job with this addon. It's free to use and it can be a tricky hell of work to keep this lightweight addon fully functional and up-to-date.
Great thanks to devs and all supporters!
Appreciate the support, thanks for the review :)

While on youtube.com, after a few clicks on different videos, Firefox will freeze or not responding to mouse clicks.
No freezing if CYS is disabled. Please fix the problem. Thanks.
I am using CYS 5.7.31, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Firefox 51.0.1 (64-bit), and ffmpeg-20160116-git-d7c75a5-win64-static.
Tried CYS 5.7.27, still got the same problem.
You can test v5.7.33 here:

I still won't work for anything with music. It'll work for something like a documentary or car review; but anything containing music, it is just a 0 byte download. No conflicting addons or anything of the sort; I've tried everything. I was hoping this new update would fix that, but alas, it hasn't.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.7.31). This user has a previous review of this add-on.v5.7.33 should be ready in just a few days...

This worked fantastically for several months. It was wonderful to use Firefox and just click on the downlaod button without having to use a separate stand-alone program. Then suddenly it stopped working. I see from the reviews that this same thing has happened to other users. Now, every time I try to download a video from YouTube, the download starts, both the video part and the audio part appear, and then suddenly both parts just disappear. Then if I click on the blue Firefox download arrow, the download is shown, but as "0" bytes. I thought there might be some conflict issue with the Opera browser, which I just installed. So I uninstalled Opera, and this still no longer worked at all. So it is not a conflict issue. I also have 4 other YouTube downloading programs. They are all separate, stand-alone programs and they all still work fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled this, but it still shows the same behavior. I have Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with all updates and the latest version of ffmpeg (January 11, 2016). Thus, I do not think this is an issue with my computer itself. I had originally wanted to make a one-time donation because this had worked so well, but surprisingly there seemed to be no way to do that on the site. The site apparently only accepts recurring monthly donations. I did not want to do that then, and now I do not think that I would want to make my one-time donation either. Please let me know if you can fix this.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.7.29).The issue is due to YouTube changes. The fix is almost ready, please bare with us thanks.

Doesn't work at all in Firefox Dev (no more drop down menu), and downloads 0 Ko files in Firefox 51.
Edit: Thanks for the reply. Will donate as soon as fixed ;)
+ please allow typing of the path to ffmepg instead of a button, as macOS file navigation is a real pain to get to usr/ for non advanced users.
Working on this now...

This add-on is really useful, but Firefox will run a little slower after installation, and toolbars will continue to break due to recent updates.
Even if you save the toolbar custom, it is not saved when you restart Firefox. (This is so annoying!)
Toolbar custom reset does not occur in previous versions.
Very sorry about this. We have deleted v5.7.28 so it does not auto update for other users. Please install the previous version for now (v5.7.27), we are working on a fix.

This addon is the best for it's purpose, there is nothing to complain about.
Unfortunately it broke my firefox with the latest CYS update.
I started my firefox the other day and ALL my customized toolbar icons were GONE.
it took me quite some time to figure out that CYS was the reason. Luckily, i had a profile backup, otherwise I would have lost all my customizations. This really shouldn't happen when it auto-updates!
I disabled CYS updates for now until this problem gets resolved and stick with the old version.

Great Tool but with FF 50.1.0 and CYS 5.7.28 it "kills" all my Toolbar buttons. The order of the icons are resetted after I restart FF. Icons for example like HomeButton or Reload-Button are away or in a different order.
