I am having a myriad of problems with Firefox lately.

Just recently, my DownloadHelper add-on won't download, It allows me to "save" my choice, and it gives me a number next to the spinning icon, but it won't actually download the video.

Well, it worked for exactly one day before disappearing from my Firefox and not reappearing no matter HOW many times I reinstall it.
