Everyone:
Firefox crippled most of its extensions beginning with Version 57. (Why
they borrowed technology from Google, I'll never know.) The developers
of the Video Download Helper responded by creating a Companion Application.
I have tried installing that application dozens of times. But /Firefox
refuses to recognize it/. And without that recognition, VDH will not
download most videos from YouTube. (Was that the idea?)
Has anyone gotten that companion app to work? If so, how may I do it?
Works for me... I downloaded the tar.gz file and followed the instructions:
tar -xf net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.1.3-1_amd64.tar.gz -C ~
~/net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.1.3/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-linux-64
install --user
If you want to download videos from youtube, youtube-dl may be more convenient.

Did it make any difference that I tried to install it system-wide, and
not for a user only?
