Video Helper Software Is Required

For Apple phones, no additional software is required (just point the camera at the QR code and follow the instructions).

Most Android-based phones also do not require third-party programs.

For those who have problems, we recommend a program for reading QR codes Privacy Friendly QR Scanner (we are not affiliated with this software, but tested this application and it performs the necessary functions).

Try it: from a YouTube page, try CTRL-A to select all the page, then click the Video DownloadHelper toolbar button.

Latest version Version 7.4.0 Released 16 Des 2020 - 791,35 KB Works with firefox 57.0 and later Added aggregator tool In some situations, on sites streaming separately video and audio, Video DownloadHelper is not able to recognize both streams as being parts of the same media and does not offer automatic aggregation.

When an audio-only and a video-only file have been downloaded, it is now possible to use the local aggregation tool to merge those two files to a single audio-video media file.

Source code released under Custom License Add to Firefox Version 7.3.4 Released 10 Jul 2018 - 713,77 KB Works with firefox 57.0a1 and later Video DownloadHelper 7.3.4 now includes support for downloading Facebook videos When browsing a Facebook timeline or opening a Facebook video post, Video DownloadHelper offers several variants for each detected video.

There should be one or two simple-streamed variants (companion app is optional) and one to many ADP options (audio and video streams are transparently downloaded and aggregated locally, this requires the use of the companion app).

In general, the best quality is only available through an ADP option.

Some of those fixes are located in the add-on itself, some had to be made in the companion application (the external application that is to be installed along with the extension in order to provide the necessary capabilities removed from Firefox Quantum v57).

As a consequence, Video DownloadHelper 7.3.1 will request you to update the companion app to version 1.2.2.

We understand that updating this companion application is a bit tedious if you compare to how smoothly the add-on updates, and we try to keep this requirement as seldom as possible.

This is feature was existing in VDH6 but was limited to unsigned videos.
