But in this case, we had no other choice.

We understand that updating this companion application is a bit tedious if you compare to how smoothly the add-on updates, and we try to keep this requirement as seldom as possible.

As a consequence, Video DownloadHelper 7.3.1 will request you to update the companion app to version 1.2.2. Some of those fixes are located in the add-on itself, some had to be made in the companion application (the external application that is to be installed along with the extension in order to provide the necessary capabilities removed from Firefox Quantum v57). Video DownloadHelper 7.3.1 brings a number of improvements and fixes that have been requested or reported by our users. Source code released under Custom License Fix: proper smart naming name picking when mode Get name from URL is chosen.Fix: actions Open Media (to play the downloaded video with the local default application) and Open Directory (to open the folder containing the downloaded file) are available again, through the 1.2.4 update of the companion app.Open add-on main panel: (Windows/Linux) ALT+UP, (Mac) CMD+SHIFT+UP.Start default action on the first hit: (Windows/Linux) ALT+DOWN, (Mac) CMD+SHIFT+DOWN.Fix: initiate download or open panel from keyboard hot key:.Feature: configurable file naming when using gallery download.Feature: support for downloading Facebook videos.In general, the best quality is only available through an ADP option.
