I have removed and re-added this extension numerous times. It used to work easily. Hasn't worked for (nearly) 2 years. Assumed it was an issue specific to my computer/s or browser. Now I see other users reporting the same issue. It's a relief to know I'm not alone. Hoping a developer somewhere out there will find a solution to plex bulk downloader's non-operability.
