Current problem - no download button - Fix is turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection on address bar
Current problem - no download button - Fix is turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection on address bar. Is Firefox problem.
A fix is already uploaded to firefox for review and approval and should soon get published and the addon should get auto-updated to v 16.10.
Since Youtube discourages video downloads and break downloaders via code changes on their end which needs to be mitigated – many users resort to negative rating not realising this as a part of the game, therefore I would request you to please use the RATE & REVIEW widget located on left-side of this page – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-download/ and rate this addon positively with the message that the developer is working on a fix so other users also get the information and do not rate negative.
Regards,
Dishita

Anonymous - jfyi - Has absolutely nothing to do with firefox updates, as I am still using 72.0.2 and I have the same issue here! I seldom update ANYTHING, unless/until it absolutely needs to be!

Hi Dishita, thanks for staying on top of this, and I look forward to getting 16.10 when it becomes available. I suggest adding this info to the "Where is the download button" KB article. It might help to reduce the number of emails and tickets you are receiving. Cheers!

greetings Dishita, I just checked back in here and after updating it's still showing up as version 16.9 with the date showing last updated May 7, 2021 which means I still do not have any download button available here and see no way to get FF to update to the v. 16.10 you've stated above...I just removed the plugin and tried reinstalling, only to find it's still showing v. 16.9 Updated May 7, 2021, meaning for some reason the Update of v. 16.10 is not showing up in Firefox for some reason?

wird bei nächstem Firefox update gelöst sein. -

Does it make any difference that Firefox had a new updated version (88.0.1)? I had my download button working until Firefox did the update on me on May 5, 2021.

Just an FYI, turning off the Enhanced Tracking Protection from the shield icon in the address bar does not bring the download button back. I turned it off, closed down and reopened firefox, made sure the shield icon had a line through it and still said tracking was turned off, and still no download button.

Button here yesterday, gone yesterday. My only action was switching tabs and it wasn't there anymore.

@VideoDroid Awesome to see you are on top of it already. I love the plug-in and appreciate the work it takes to constantly respond to these YouTube code changes.

Current problem - STILL no download button -
The latest update on May-5, 2021 did not fix the problem, even after disabling ALL security/protection features in the FF version 88.0.1 browser. -

Button was here right up until today, now no longer here & I've tried everything suggested! Only thing I did as far as changes was to clean cookies with CCleaner last night!
I was using a previous version with NO problems right up until today...now the Button is gone & nothing I've tried has put it back! Tried downloading the current latest version, tried going back to previous version, tried turning off Enhanced Tracking, nothing has restored the Download Button for me here! Any other suggestions? -
