Contact info for add-on: AMO
Add-on ID: feca4b87-3be4-43da-a1b1-137c24220968@jetpack
How well does it work?: 0%
Steps to reproduce working features:
- Visit Youtube video and click on toolbar item. Can choose options to download video in various formats. Also has some ffmpeg integration.
Steps to reproduce broken features:
- Toolbar doesn't activate when visiting YouTube videos.
Any obvious performance problems? No
Chromium version: No.

Note that bug 1075249 was also for e10s compat and was closed. However, the problem seems to have reappeared.

Also, this is an SDK add-on, so it's surprising that it doesn't work.

I'm going to revise this: the add-on does work in e10s. It just has some problems that appear in e10s and non-e10s. I think the issue is that Youtube sometimes transitions between the home page and videos without an actual navigation. The add-on doesn't catch this and so it doesn't recognize the video. If you hit reload, it works.

With Firefox 57 only WebExtensions are permitted and are, by default, e10s compatible.
