hello, other users of the extension seem to have the same issue since they upgraded to firefox 18. please directly contact the extension developers through the support channels provided at the homepage - they can likely give you more detailed guidance and are the only ones who can fix bugs or make necessary adjustments in the addon for new firefox versions. thank you...

Oh, pretty sweet. So mozilla more or less broke one of my favorite and most used extensions for me.

I guess I should figure out how to turn OFF the automatic updates which I don't want, to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future.

So much for ease of use and convenience.

Anybody know of a vid downloader extension that DOES work with this new and "improved" version of firefox?
