Review summary

Users describe Insta Media Downloader as useful and easy to use for downloading Instagram media (photos and videos). When it works, it’s fast and highly valued, with reports of it being fixed and back online after issues. However, reliability is inconsistent, especially for Stories and video downloads, the download button can fail or disappear, and Instagram can slow down or become unusable. Ongoing updates are needed to keep up with Instagram and Firefox changes, and compatibility varies across setups.

2026-07-03	Fi*****	Not working with stories in a long LONG long time. Also some weird glitch where in a batch post with many pictures, it keeps downloading only the first picture of the post no matter how many times you try/click to download other pictures in the post

2026-04-28	ry*****	Thanks for the extension, but as of 4/28/2026 downloading videos isn't working properly (unless it's from a regular profile page; downloading videos after directly opening video link or through reels tab or through stories does NOT work)

2025-06-23	ff*****	This add-on is really useful and easy to use. The only downside is that it removes your like instantly after you've given one on a post. It's been like this for years. If only it could be fixed, I'd happily give it 5 stars.

2025-02-18	Cr*****	Back to working smoothly, great extension. Only issue I'd raise is reels downloaded from a users page aren't saved with the time of the upload, but the current real time.

2025-01-28	Fi*****	Confirming this is indeed broken, first image appears very zoomed, subsequent pictures appear grey, and no download button. Hope it gets fixed because until now it's been a great app.
