Has anyone tried the addon Video Saver at ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-saver-free/reviews/ ) ? Seems a tad odd as 98% are five star reviews and all done over a 2 day period by user names such as 22413a, ee3b27, 5c18e8, 492c50, bcd065, etc and all are just 5/6 word reviews. So hard to find a 4k video downloader but this seems to be a scam.

Hi. This forum is intended for offering technical support assistance for Firefox users. We do not provide suggestions about add-ons, since they are developed and maintained by third party developers.

Sorry.

Add-ons support is over here: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons

Yes, that sounds like many planted user reviews to "bump" the stars rating up. As far as those nonsensical user names, that is due to anonymous user names; no need to register and create an account any longer, which IMO devalues the ratings system making it a farce since that was changed.
