I was most interested in the video download tool and the autoplay flash blocker. Unfortunately, on some sites the video wouldn't load at all if the flash blocker was on, although they were not auto-play. When the flash blocker was turned off, the video would play but I could not figure out how to download it. Nothing new showed up on my tool bar or in the context menu, nothing new in the Firefox download manager nor in any of the browser's drop-down menus except for "Pagetweak-Options" which was no help. When I clicked on "more info" next to the "KeepTube--download videos..." option, the link opened a new tab to a page that claimed "A transparent button in right left corner of all websites supported by Keep Tube." The "right left corner"?? I found no such button on 3 different news sites I tried. On one site I found where it worked, the button opened a new tab with an error message and an ad and a suspicious "click on 'run' "dialog box. The only instructions on the developer's website were for two already obvious things: how to open "options" and how to uninstall, which I promptly did.
