2024-10-22 IQman this is the one that should be recommended by firefox, not that stupid "pls download our companion app" video downloader. Sorry for venting

2024-09-25 laowei Works great. Thanks to developer(s). To the user below complaining there is no toolbar button, look for the jigsaw-shaped icon in the top right-hand corner, click it and the menu should contain the icon for Stream Detector (if not, ensure you have the add-on enabled, and if in private browser ensure you have "allow in private session" checked in the options)

2024-08-20 Firefox user 14673123 There is no icon visible in the toolbar. Even when I manually try to customize the toolbar, an icon for this add-on doesn't exist in the pool of available icons. Un- and re-installing doesn't help either. So, I finally deleted it... (using FF 115.14.0 esr)
