- Rated 3 out of 5by lnstar, 8 years agoDOES work with Firefox ESR v52.9. Does NOT work with Firefox Quantum v.60. WHY does Mozilla make such useful extensions so hard to use???

posted 8 years agoHi Instar,
Thanks for using my add-on.
I don't have Firefox Quantum v.60 on my computer. I tried with Firefox Quantum v.61.0.2 (64 bit) on Windows and it seems to be OK.
Please try to update your Firefox, or let me know your operating system (Windows, Ubuntu, Linux Mint,...). - Rated 5 out of 5by MacKayToi, 8 years agoJust found this add-on today. Download and try with a Youtube movie. Works great.
Thank you very, very much. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14078353, 8 years agoUPDATE: It's working again, yay! Thanks for updating it, and thanks for making it!
If this addon also converted auto-generated subtitles in an update, THAT would be incredible (I had to piece together an AutoHotKey script to be able to do it, but it's clunky and doesn't do nearly as well as the pure download of the srt file this addon offers).
Thanks again! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13897579, 8 years agoRecently it does not work properly. It cannot check out if Youtube video has subtitle or not. Therefore closed captions of some videos can not be downloaded.
It worked very well before. But not now. - Rated 5 out of 5by scrutinizer, 8 years agoI'm not very keen on using add-ons and any other kind extensions for their notorious ability to cause every type of corruption of browsers' functionality but this is a much needed add-on for a person that watches English-speaking YouTube videos and doesn't want any unknown word to slip through his attention for later scrutiny in order to extend his/her learning ability. Sadly more and more YT videos adopt auto-generation of subtitles which this add-on can do nothing about. Auto-generation as it comes from the notion's definition occurs at run-time only, so there's no technical option to extract subtitles stream. I was able to download a SRT file only for one video so far.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Cath_S, 8 years agoCe module fait exactement ce qu'il promet de faire. Je ne donne que 4/5 pour inciter le développeur à ajouter une fonctionnalité permettant de télécharger aussi les sous-titres auto-générés par YouTube ;)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13793933, 8 years agoIt works like a charm. It gives SRT files, which is perfect.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Nathan Wailes, 9 years agoIt's not totally fair to give this a one-star review since the name of the addon is "Subtitle Downloader" and not "Transcript Downloader", but I think the creator should add a clarification to the addon description saying that this does not download Google's auto-generated transcripts.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12745327, 9 years agoDo the job, just have to click on a link under the title of the movie.
Perfect for me - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13011706, 9 years agoperfect so far, thank you. Had issues getting another prominent caption downloader to work, with this one I had no problems
- Rated 4 out of 5by Mario, 9 years agoPlease Update the Add-On, becuase with the new UI of YouTube the link to download the subtitle doesn't appear.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12878112, 9 years agoThanks a lot for this add-on, it works great and it couldn't be easier to use.
However, it stopped working when I updated to firefox 52. For me it's no big deal, I have another computer where I will not be updating to firefox 52 (that's how much I like this add-on!), but I'm looking forward to a patched version, thanks!Developer response

I updated the add-on for Firefox 52. Hope that it will be approved soon :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Точки над Ё, 10 years agoWorks very well!
I wish it would look different though: as a sub-menu of 'Download YouTube Videos as MP4' add-on or a separate 'Subtitles' menu next to it.
It would be really great if it would also be capable of downloading automatic captions.
Definitely the wording has to be 'Subtitles', not 'Subtitle', and download links have to be in blue, not red. - Rated 2 out of 5by Wallace Fung, 10 years agoThis software is the only caption download working in youtube so far but the response is very slow. I hope the writer can fix this problem.
