Thisanswer is not a duplicate of something already answered, since i'm asking specifically for regarding downloadhelper firefox extension, and a mysterious problem of audio only, specific to this clip.

Added-It seems the downloaded file does include Video(even though the 10min clip is only 20MB). It wasn't playing before, but it is now. I haven't re-downloaded it. Before it was just playing audio and displaying a blue screen with no text when I played it in VLC.


As Tog might be suspecting, if you are downloading the mp4, it might be just that you don't have certain video codec. You might use some free tool to check which codec is using that mp4 file and then download and install it. This can happen more often if you are using MS Media Player and have only default codecs installed. VLC player, which supports by itself a lot of formats and codecs, might be a good way to check if is this issue, you can just download here, it's free.


Back in May of this year I reported a bug to Malwarebytes by email about the Malwarebytes For Chrome browser extension conflicting with the Video DownloadHelper extension for Chrome, and this bug was confirmed by Malwarebytes after I reported it by email months ago.


I would like to report a possible bug with the Malwarebytes For Chrome browser extension (previous version and current version) where it seems to conflict with the Video DownloadHelper extension for Chrome ( -downloadhelper/lmjnegcaeklhafolokijcfjliaokphfk) so when you click to download a video with that extension the name in the Save As Box will be random numbers (example: 348546) instead of the name (example: Flying Cat Video) that is displayed in that extension before you click to save the video.


When I disable Malwarebytes For Chrome this problem goes away, but if I have it enabled then the problem returns so I either have to keep manually entering the title every time I want to save a video or I have to disable the Malwarebytes extension.


This problem is pretty annoying for me and has prevented me from using the Malwarebytes extension for long, I have to keep disabling it, and so I usually give up using it until the next version comes out hoping that it will be fixed.


Just a thought. I have had the browser extension on both Chrome and Firefox (quantum 64 bit) for a good while. All was well until the most recent update of Firefox (64.0). Since then Firefox will not close properly - and it also seems to worry over downloading (downloads not completing).


However, having tried a host of things. Removing the Malwarebytes Browser Extension seems to have fixed the problem. Though I would dearly liek to have the browser extension back doing its sentry duty.


I may have got a lucky download without the Malwarebytes Extension... without it stuff is going awry. I have been just been browsing around the internet. I seem to have an automatic update of several programs and extensions. I have spent some time going through each adding and taking away. I have it seems run into the problem - I uninstalled the extension and reinstalled the previous version. (This was the simple Remembear password manager).


@rakeshsejwal Hello, I am talking about a bug / conflict that only happens when I have the Malwarebytes Browser Extension installed when trying to download files (videos) with the Video DownloadHelper Extension, when there is a video that can be downloaded on a page by that extension it will list the name and you can download the video.


Normally the name of the video (example: Cat Video) that shows is the name that it will default to when you go to download it (you can change the name if you want before downloading it though if you do not use the quick download option) so in the Save File As Box the name will still say (example: Cat Video) before you click save, but when you have the Malwarebytes Browser Extension installed the name shows normally (example: Cat Video) until it is time to download it where the name in the Save File As Box will say (example: 1234283) instead of (example: Cat Video) so you have to manually adjust the name back to (example: Cat Video) before downloading it because the name will be different than the name that shows before clicking to download the video.


If you use the quick download option instead of the normal download option you will not be able to change the name before downloading, and so you will have to rename the downloaded file itself if you have the Malwarebytes Browser Extension installed.


This problem does not happen when I uninstall Malwarebytes Browser Extension, so far only the Malwarebytes Browser Extension seems to cause this problem when trying to download files with the Video DownloadHelper Extension.


So you are saying that this is a Google Chrome problem even though it only happens when I have the Malwarebytes Browser Extension installed when trying to download files with the Video DownloadHelper Extension?


I was told by email support to create an account here to post this question here where the developers would be more likely to see it, I did not want to do this because I do not like to create online accounts unless necessary (to reduce the amount of usernames and passwords that I have to remember, and to reduce the amount of things that I have to worry about getting hacked et cetera) and I wanted to just continue to handle it through email support like I did before when this bug was confirmed by Malwarebytes, but I followed their advice anyway and I created an account here again (I used to have an account here in the past) hoping that it would not be in vain.


Just an update, this issue still happens several years later in all the web browsers that I use (mostly Microsoft Edge & Brave Browser these days), this issue always causes me to uninstall Malwarebytes Browser Guard, and try it again later until it annoys me enough to uninstall it again.


Malwarebytes Browser Guard could be the best security extension in my opinion if: this problem gets fixed, if the ad-blocking was improved to the level of Ublock Origin (maybe you could fork it into your extension since it is open source) or Brave Browser's built-in ad-blocking (maybe you could fork this as well because they may also be using an open source approach) or Adguard (which Avira uses in their extension), and if there was a way to submit suspicious websites & false positives from the extension itself (like you can with Emsisoft Browser Security & web browsers like Microsoft Edge).


I was able to get to the bottom of this one. The bottom line is that this should be fixed in the next release. Because reality sometimes interferes with the best plans, here is more information. There are three issues at play here.


net.downloadhelper.coapp-win-64.exe is an executable file associated with the software VdhCoApp, which is developed by Node.js. This file is typically located in the directory C:\Program Files\net.downloadhelper.coapp\bin. The software is built on Node.js, a platform that allows for the execution of JavaScript code server-side.


VdhCoApp is a helper application that works in conjunction with the Video DownloadHelper browser extension. This software is useful for downloading videos from various websites. When you install the Video DownloadHelper extension, the VdhCoApp software is also installed to handle the downloading process. It allows for the downloading of videos in various formats and resolutions, including HD and 4K.


The net.downloadhelper.coapp-win-64.exe file is necessary for the proper functioning of the Video DownloadHelper extension. Without it, the extension may not be able to download videos or may only be able to download videos in lower resolutions.


If you do not use the Video DownloadHelper extension or if you have concerns about the security or performance impact of the VdhCoApp software, you may choose to remove it. Before doing so, ensure that you understand the implications and that you do not need the software for your video downloading needs.
