the display the progress of ongoing downloads is not working on firefox
The balls are rotating, I go to save the file but for some reason, the download display arrow wont light up and the file wont save.
Here's an example. I went to this video on you tube.
As I click on the download helper all the files are there.
Yet when I go to save the file (into my download folder, normal the green arrow would light up and the file would download.) nothing happens anymore. The download progress section is empty and the arrow is grey.

I'm having the EXACT same problem! Even the (1) or (2) or (3) is shown. But nothing is downloading. Problem started about 24 hours ago.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Maybe look at other download extensions instead, at least until there is an update for the Video Download Helper extension.
- Youtube Video and Audio Downloader: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/youtube-video-and-audio-dow/
There is a new version of the Video DownloadHelper available here. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/video-downloadhelper-5
It may be a few weeks before it is available from the Mozilla Addons website, as it is a complete rewrite of that addon.
