What a great simple small app!
It perfectly does as it says. I was able to download and save my favorite videos easily and quickly. Recommended!

not what expected based on the description. I like the idea and seeming ease of this add-on but am disappointed about the available choices of format to download as. The description states, "It simply adds a download button below the video player and dropdown options to download YouTube videos in FLV, 3GP, MP3, MP4, 720p, 1080p formats." but in the nearly 50 videos I've looked at, the only options I've been given were FLV and MP4, sometimes 720p, others 1080p and on a handful, the option for both 720p and 1080p. I've yet to see 3GP or MP3 as an option, and MP3 was the main reason I wanted this add-on. I know that I have a program already on my computer that I could convert them but if a description for an add-on states it will save in a specific format, then I expect to be able to save in that format and not need to convert it.

Further, this is labeled as a No Restart add-on but the button to download a video did NOT appear until after I restarted Firefox. It wasn't as if when I added this to my add-ons that I already had YouTube open and needed to refresh the page. I didn't even open YouTube until after I got this add-on. But there was no download button. But after I closed FF and restarted it, the download button was finally available. Another problem I have is that when I clicked on the "Support Site" link, it did me absolutely no good as it took me to a link for a registry cleaner. If I had wanted a reg cleaner, that's what I would have looked for. I wanted the support site for this add-on. If I click on a link that says it is a support page for a specific add-on, that is what I expect to open rather than something totally unrelated to this add-on. So in light of these issues, I highly doubt I will keep this add-on, unless I can get answers as to why this is happening...mainly the issue of not having all the options to save as the description states.

Hi,
I know that MP3 is not currently working properly. For the other formats, they appear only if the video is directly convertible.
Regarding the problem of norestart, I have yet to check this specific thing because wherever I cross checked, it worked fine.
I will get back to you on this soon.

Thanks!

I installed Add-on Version 7.2 on German Seamonkey 2.33.B1 Build 20150223174142 on German WIN7 64bit. Everything works fine, Download-Link appears left from "Add - Share - More - Like/Dislike".

Small disappointment: Only offers FLV 240p, MP4 360p, MP4 720p (sometimes even less). Promised 3GP, MP3, MP4 1080p seem to be missing (I tested 20 YouTube videos)?

Suggestion: can the Download-Button get a Tooltip like the other options?

HI,
Mp3 is not working great at the moment so it is missing.
I will surely implement the tooltip thing soon and will get you an update.

Thanks!

Hi, I've installed the latest version 7.2 but no drop down button appears... o maybe I didn't see it.... :-(

Dear User, the button appears at the bottom of the video. Please see the screen shot. Even if you are not seeing that button, can you give me the link of the page you are facing the problem? I assure you to get it solved soon.
Thanks,
