User Reviews
Users praise that Instagram Downloader adds a convenient download button and generally works well, including video support and date-labeled filenames. However, several reviews report bugs after updates (skipping images, download failures) and UI issues (icon visibility and alignment), plus occasional delays in the download window and date formatting problems. Overall it improves Instagram usage on Firefox but reliability and UI consistency need improvement. Pros
- Adds a dedicated download button/arrow next to Instagram content for easy downloads.
- Generally reliable and works well for saving photos and videos.
- Supports downloading with meaningful filenames including date.
- Includes video downloads with basic controls.
Cons
- Bugs and instability after updates (e.g., skipping images in feed, post download failures).
- UI/visual issues with the download icon (visibility in dark mode, misalignment on threads, icon sometimes not appearing).
- Download window delay and inconsistent filename date formatting.
Recent reviews
Lately, there's been a problem when visiting posts with multiple images directly from the search; the image number doesn't increase when moving to the second image.

Perfect, because adds username and date and time to file names!

Great app, but the download fonction for carousel posts doesn't work for me anymore, since this weekend.

Is Instagram Downloader Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Instagram Downloader requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
