YouTube Downloader

[CaptNoize]

My YouTube Downloader has quit working. I use Firefox as my browser, with the YD extension. It worked perfectly for 2 years. Now,it says when I try to download audio,since I don't download videos, it prompts me to activate the extension. Anyone having this issue..?

Are you using the most recent version of Firefox? It could be a recent update to Firefox accidentally enabled ask to activate, so its asking for you to activate to use the extension each time you use it.

What's the fix for it..? I'm using the most recent version. However, on my Hp Pavilion, I'm using Fire Fox ESR... It quit working there, also.

Go to menu, click on add ons and themes, go to plugins and next to the plugin your using youll see a box, click on it and enable always activate.

I get a pop up that says "Batch Downloading Interrupted". When I click on the pop up that says "activate" nothing happens. still not working.

I checked around and youre not the only one having this issue with that extension. You might want to look around for an alternative and uninstall the present extension for the time being.

It seems that all other extensions are having trouble,also. I tried 3 others,same thing. Even tried command line copy and paste. Wouldn't work either.

Are you using the latest version Firefox 128? What version of MX Linux are you using?
