User reviews

User reviews for the YouTube mp3 Firefox add-on are mixed. While some users appreciate its functionality and convenience of a direct download button, many complain about the lack of visible buttons, redirects to inappropriate sites, and poor user experience such as inability to select audio quality and awkward download behavior. Spamming and virus warnings were also reported. Overall, the add-on works for some but has significant usability and security drawbacks noted by multiple users.

Pros

The add-on works for downloading YouTube content (MP3 or MP4) in some cases.
Provides a convenient download button simplifying the process compared to manual URL copying.
Some users confirmed it is one of the few add-ons that actually function as intended.

Cons

No download button appears for some users after installation.
Sometimes redirects to unwanted or inappropriate websites (porn or spam), which is disturbing especially for users with children.
Downloads MP4 instead of MP3, or doesn't provide options for audio quality selection.
The add-on appears clunky, with an unattractive and intrusive download button.
Downloads happen in a new tab which is unnecessary and inconvenient.
