Real Player and Realdownloader are not downloading videos.
These apps were working until 7/2/13. The popup does not appear on the top right of the video. They do work with IE. Now I've deleted them with Control Panel and reinstalled, but no luck. I'm running an XP box.

Yes it doesnt work with Firefox 22, you can try a alternative addon until its updated.

Thanks very much for your quick reply. I'll try the Flash Downloader app.
How do I know which of these add ons are safe...I tried a utube one earlier and got a horrible thing called V9 which I battled to get rid of. It took over Firefox
Solved the whole Real Player-Firefox issues. Simply go your control panel, select "Programs", under "Default Programs" click on "Change default settings for media or devices". Find Video Files and choose Real Player logo to Import Music, Video and Pictures using Real Player. Click "Save" at the bottom of the window, then closeout and restart Firefox. You should see the "Download this Video" icon in YouTube videos once again and download at will. One caveat, it seems to work great on amateur videos and the like. I had an issue downloading some music videos. It's kind of hit or miss, you will have to keep trying to download a video if it doesn't work initially. I noticed that it downloads videos as a .dash file and then Real Player downloader will convert the file to mp4 or whatever format you have it set to in your preferences. These directions are for Windows 7, you will have to find the equivalent control panel options for other Windows OS. Good luck!
