  • Be careful with old versions! These versions are displayed for testing and reference purposes.You should always use the latest version of an add-on.

  • Latest version

    Version 1.8.2

    Released Aug 12, 2026 - 38.23 KB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    • The context menu and keyboard shortcut no longer send the download before you can react. With One-Click Mode disabled they now open the popup pre-filled with the target URL, so quality, folder and other options can be adjusted first (#18).
    • With One-Click Mode enabled, all four entry points queue the download immediately without opening the popup.
    • Right-clicking a link now carries that link's URL into the popup instead of the URL of the page you are on.

    Version 1.8.1

    Released Aug 12, 2026 - 38.17 KB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    • Default folder and custom name prefix now support variables: %HOSTNAME%, %DOMAIN%, %DATE%, %YEAR%, %MONTH%, %DAY%. For example, a folder of videos/%DOMAIN% files a YouTube download under videos/youtube.com, so downloads can be categorized by site automatically (#26).
    • Variables are resolved against the URL actually being sent, so right-clicking a link uses that link's host rather than the host of the page you're on.
    • Unrecognized %TOKENS% are left as-is, so existing folder and prefix values are unaffected.

  • Version 1.8.0

    Released Jun 8, 2026 - 36.86 KB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    • Added support for MeTube's new download options: Type (Video/Audio/Captions/Thumbnail) and Codec (Auto/H.264/H.265/AV1/VP9).
    • Format and Quality dropdowns now adapt to the selected Type, matching MeTube's UI exactly (e.g., Audio shows m4a/mp3/opus/wav/flac with per-format bitrate options; Captions shows srt/txt/vtt/ttml).
    • Existing default settings are automatically migrated.

    • Improved error messages for connection failures — the addon now detects missing permissions and tells you exactly what to do.
    • Added CORS troubleshooting guide to README for cases where the permission fix alone isn't enough (CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=*).
