New update DOES NOT WORK very well. Very slow, could not do my downloads like before. Before update worked very well and very fast. Fire the new programmer. Update back to the old version.

The latest version collects the history of all watched videos. Its removal does not work completely, it cannot be turned off. Same in private mode.

What WAS a perfect piece of software is destroyed by some programmer. The previous version was working great and was very userfriendly. Please go back to that, beacause this just sucks.

What was a perfect add on became horrible after update 4.10. Interface is messy, hard to see what videos are being downloaded,cannot delete history. 4.11 attempted to fix the history problem by adding a clear files tab, problem is it doesn't work. The last 2 updates are good examples of how to take a good product and destroy it.

Slows down Firefox after update, so I leave it disabled now. New UI is bad. Can make it work if I need it to.

This was a great if not the best addon of its kind. Now after the 'revamp' it is unusable. The new UI is messy, the settings are severly lacking, it does not show the videos to the right sorting rules, it shows videos from all tabs in a specific one, it goes on and on. It is a nightmare. Unusable at this current state. Need a rollback as soon as possible or this is going to go to the addon graveyard.

Edit: Now, and apparently it happened to plenty others according to comments. Something happened in the past day or so, and there is a crazy memory leak. To the point not just firefox froze and became unusable, but I had to force boot my machine. Had to manually remove each addon to be sure Ant was the culprit, even though it was the obvious suspect.

With the new version, I have "error 5" ; impossible to move ti the download folder ; why? Thank you

What have you done to this extension? It has been completely ruined, the UI is so bad, most of the time it doesn't even load the video list of a specific page. And what's up with the full history off all videos you came across, this thing is buggy as hell now! I guess, good job for ruining your extension, if this doesn't get fixed, it will be dead very soon.

Worked well in the past, some time ago stopped to work on youtube and now is not working anymore. Maybe it is a strategy for pushing users to download this software from their website and install direct on PC, not like an browser add-on.

This worked fine a couple days ago, then an update hit that made it so if you tried to check on a download the page would keep everything that it could download in the list which lead to thousands of idle downloads when you watched something from twitch or youtube that would lock down firefox if you tried to view downloads. Even though they said they would automatically be deleted they werent. Flash forward to today where another update hit that added a manual clear list that does absolutely nothing. The add on also likes to just stop working mid download and again if you try and check on it loading all videos locks down firefox. The add on also likes to just stop working now from time to time. It wont even load the box to see if there are videos that could be downloaded when you click on it.

UPDATE, August 19, 2022:
Well, the latest version arrived just in time to fuck up my browser when the old version was disabled, meaning that while I tried to figure out what the fuck was going on, I lost out on a time sensitive video that's no longer available! Thanks a lot fucksticks, you've managed to prove you're retarded as ever. How about a fucking heads-up next time you stupid shit stains? Put a fucking indicator dot or something on the menu bar icon to let people know it needs to be updated, for fucks sake, how fucking hard is that!!! Not that it would really matter, i suppose, considering it's next to fucking impossible to open the settings page when there's no video to download or it's not being detected.... Testing it now; still slower than fuck on larger videos=bullshit. Used to be one click downloading, now multiple clicks to start=more fucking bullshit. I fucking HATE that you removed the progress bar!!! Whose bright idea was that?!! Is there some sort of never ending contest around the office to see which asshole can shit out the biggest log of an update? Great job ass-hats, can't wait for your next colossal, fecal brainstorm.

OG, late December 2021:
This used to work brilliantly until you decided to f*** with it and you broke it...STOP TRYING TO FIX THINGS THAT AREN'T BROKEN!!!!!

UPDATE, January 7, 2022:
"Currently, we're unable to reproduce the issue, but we suspect it may be caused when updating from version 4.9 to 4.10, and then to 4.11-4.12.

The problem may be in the data left from version 4.9. Unlike Chromium-based browsers, Firefox does not delete extension storage when you uninstall it, even in debugging mode.

Try resetting Ant Video downloader, go to Settings - Reset, click the WIPE OUT AND RESET button. This will delete any data in the extension storage, and reload the extension."

I've uninstalled and updated to the "latest version" which on my settings page shows "Version 4.11 (build 1, release)", NOT version 4.12 and there is no "Settings - Reset" option and no "WIPE OUT AND RESET button" anywhere to be seen...

WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!! STOP FUCKING ABOUT AND REVERT IT BACK TO 4.9 WHICH WORKED JUST FINE YOU STUPID FUCKING ASSHOLES!!!!!!

With the recent update this add on has become a hot mess, plz for the love of god fix it or go back to the previous version!

Was a great video down loader that become the BIGGEST RUBBISH Downloaded over night when it was updated to the latest. Don't waist your time to add this extension because it CANT Download ANY Videos. They drop from 5 star to NO STAR.

This program worked flawlessly - however, with the latest "update", it's now one big gigantic mess. The interface is awful, successful detection of videos has decreased, and I'm unable to cancel so many entries that appear to be stuck in download mode. For the love of god, please reinstate the previous version please.

AVD used to be the better of most Firefox video download programs out there.
The design was clean, it worked well and was able to grab videos that others could not.
Nice work by the developers.
No disrespect to the developers but this latest version really looks like it could need some finetuning.
To me, it seems on the bloated side and cluttered when compared to the previous versions.
It also seems more difficult to use and possibly buggy.
For example, I am unable to remove failed downloads, even though the source tabs have been shut down.
I am going to remove and reinstall it, see how it goes from there.

For other users.
Please look here to get the older version of things.

This 3.10 update should be removed from all public records. Sites should revert back to showing 3.9 as the latest.
In fact, 3.9 IS the latest, since whatever the hell this is, simply shouldn't exist.

Used to be great, todays version however is complete broken crap. I immediately reverted to the older version as far as the browser extension goes, but that didnt solve much either, I also had to revert the native app to the older version as well. Now it can properly detect videos again. The latest simply couldn't, and I don't like the fact that you have to close tabs to get them unlisted from the download page either. Extremely chaotic and messy when you want/need your tabs have to stay open.

Used to work greatly, since the new version came out it fails half the time.

edit: I found the answer to my problem, it was asking firewall permission

Really good downloader; however, after the latest update seems there's no longer any way to clear the download list? UPDATE TO DEVELOPER RESPONSE: Uh, no, it doesn't.

dernière mise a joue 24/12/2021 ne fonctionne vraiment plus ,ne trouve plus les vidéos ,la fenêtre ne s'ouvre plus quand il trouve une malheureuse vidéo a revoir depuis cette dernière mise a jour
