  • remove video download helper

    From faeychild@2:250/1 to All on Thu Dec 8 22:32:34 2022


    Does anyone know how to completely uninstall "video download helper"

    Using "remove" through Firefox disables rather than uninstall and
    leaves an "undo" option.

    I wish to completely remove the app to be able to install fresh.

    In about:addons click on the ... at the end of the line for that extension
    and select remove. Close and restart firefox. Once firefox has been restarted the undo option is gone.

    Yes. I discovered that this morning when I booted up.
    I've reinstalled and it works fine

    Thanks Dave
