Video Download Helper bug on youtube!!!

[LeonhartGR]

For the last 3-4 days and after updating the adobe flash player I cannot comment, like or favorite.I uninstalled all flash plugins and drivers and run through Internet Explorer. It worked fine with youtube. Then I installed the plugins and drivers again  while on IE and I could still comment with IE but when I run Waterfox it gives me the same error.

Please the person who uses the waterfox application if he can confirm the same bug and/or help me spot the problem! Thanks!

Ok I can comment, like, favorite now! For anyone who had the same issue after the last youtube update and video download helper "on"

"Here is a workaround that works for me (until a new version of VDH is

released):

- Open a new tab and type in the URL bar "about:config" (without the quotes)

- Search for parameter "dwhelper.yt-visitor-cookie", double click on it and

change the value from "remote" to "keep"

- Reload the YouTube page

- You should now be able to use the Like/Unlike buttons" (fix by mig)

After the youtube's latest update there was a  cookie issue that they fixed for the downloading of videos that were giving a blank archive. This fix caused a conflict between the youtube functions above and VDH while it was active.

I think I will stick with the Portable Version of Mozilla Firefox.

wow, never heard of waterfox, til now. it seems genuinely faster with youtube. is it me? getting 1080p streams faster now. maybe it's something else I did idk, but so far waterfox is my new default browser.

I don't remember who suggested me this but it's a qhimm forum user. If the search worked you can spot him by typing "waterfox" Definitely my favorite browser since then...

I used to use Waterfox pretty regularly. On the good side, it's basically Firefox but faster. On the bad side, it's slower to update than Firefox, and often has many of the same bugs as Firefox (particularly crashing and stalling, which Mozilla keeps fixing and unfixing, which is why I use Chrome these days).
