1442221 2017-11-20 05:02:00 Just updated to this new version of Firefox ver 57.0. Quite different from previous version.

I used to have Flashgot add-on installed and found it very handy to download Youtube video clips; it's now missing - not compatible with the new version. Installed the replacement - Bulk Media Downloader but no way I could figure out how to use it.

Anyone here have installed the new Ffox and the Flashgot replacement- Bulk Media Downloader?

Cheers

1442223 2017-11-20 05:46:00 For Youtube only try Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express v10.5
https://www.yourvideofile.org/
It put a green 'Download As' icon beneath the Youtube screen, and you can select the quality of download.

Edit: V10.5 is for the new Youtube layout, if your are using the old layout then use version 9.14

1442224 2017-11-20 08:15:00 Is there a way to roll back to the old version? bk T (215)
1442225 2017-11-20 08:24:00 I do not believe so. I read somewhere that to go back to the previous version then version 57 has to be completely uninstalled, then install the old version and make sure auto update is turned off. Probably better to stay with 57 and find work arounds to replace the addons that no longer work.

As time goes by, most likely there will be new addons coming along

1442226 2017-11-20 09:26:00 I ran the installer of the previous version and it downgraded over the top of 57 no problem, and like magic all the old addons reappeared. Sirhc (15872)

Good one, that is worth knowing for those that don't like version 57.:thumbs:

1442228 2017-11-20 22:42:00 So today I updated.
In anticipation of this speed and stuff that is meant to be the thing with it.

Haven't noticed a thing. All my addons were fine, and my appearance theme.

All I see is it is square looking, not thrilled about that but not horrified either.
Speed? Zero difference at all, tried various sites.....

So a big let down here really....nothing much happened.

1442229 2017-11-21 01:47:00 My two 'legacy' addons have gone. I had 'New Scroll Bars' (aka Noia Scroll bars) for choosing an easy to see coloured scroll bar and 'Tabs on Bottom". Can't find anything to replace them. I don't find 57.0 any faster. bellbird (6169)
1442230 2017-11-22 20:23:00 This 57 is very persistent. I turned auto updates off when I rolled back and it has updated to 57 twice. So rolled back again. Sorry not interested until my addons are compatible. And like others, I noticed no speed difference. Sirhc (15872)
