A couple of days ago my Firefox was automatically upgraded and I lost my video downloader. I have down loaded a replacement but it is much slower. Is it possible to go back to my original version of Firefox and will my video downloader be there? Does Internet explorer have a good Youtube downloader? It is taking 20 minutes to download a 2 minute video!
