I was able to download YouTube videos as MP4 by default. However for the last week or so, the videos are downloaded as HTML Document File. Please advise what do I need to do to revert to download as MP4. Thanks

Hello, can you please tell us by what means you download the videos. Is it any Add-on or other tools.
