User Reviews

Stream Recorder is praised for detecting streaming video and offering an easy-to-use recording workflow, with usable output and better performance than some competitors. However, reliability is inconsistent across sites and streams, with reports of non-working sessions, site-specific issues (Twitter, others), audio-volume dependency requiring workarounds, and saving failures when streams end or are interrupted.

Pros

Detects streaming video and offers to record
Easy to use / user-friendly
Works on YouTube (at least) and generally functional on some sites
Records in a usable format (webdm) and can be easily converted to MP4 with VLC or other tools
Often praised as better than similar add-ons / performs well when it works

Cons

Unreliable / often doesn't work or only records partially
Site compatibility varies; some sites (e.g., Twitter) may not be supported
Audio handling depends on the source volume; playback can be quiet or missing and requires workarounds
Saving issues when streams stop or recording is turned off; files may not be saved
Ad/promotional content appears in the experience (advertising from questionable sites) in at least one review

Recent reviews

Doesn't work (like Live Recorder).

Is Stream Recorder 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.

Stream Recorder does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Stream Recorder has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
