YouTube Video and Audio Downloader (WebEx) - Firefox Add-on

Optional features include a native client installation for smoother operation, and an FFmpeg executable which is needed for high-resolution video or audio files. As of version 1.0.0, this extension employs node-ytdl-core as its core for detection.

Hasn't worked in ages.

Has been a really great addon for a long time until it stopped working for me three years ago.
So I did let it live in my firefox out of hope that someday there may be an update which would get it working again.
But I think after three years of waiting in vain, it's safe to pronounce this add-on dead, uninstall it and look for alternatives.
So long, and thanks for all the videos, but I guess it's time to move on.

I was shocked to see that this was still installed. No buttons have shown up for years. It's a totally broken mess that i'm, about to remove.
