Just updated the app and now I'm unable to download any video. Please fix. That add-on was really resourceful. If anyone experiencing the same problem or knows how to fix it, please let me know.

No, I'm not downloading YouTube videos. It's simply each site that does have flash, or even mp4 at that, just doesn't download. I just don't get it. The only media I can download are pictures. Firefox was the only reliable, sure proof browser that I could get flash videos with, easily. Now i may have to just find another. I try to download flash videos and the download won't even process. Then i try to download videos as mp4 then the browser just crashes. Sent tons of crash reports. Yet, no solution. I have an Android phone. Galaxy s II. Please help i don't wanna lose what use to be the best browser..

You'll have to get support from the add-on provider. There are support links at https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/flash-video-downloader/
