I'm running Firefox 74.0 (64bits) under MacOs
I have installed DownloadHelper 7.3.7 under a fresh new profile (but I got the same trouble / error in my normal profile)
I have installed the coapp as root (it is in /Application/....)
sudo cat /Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/net.downloadhelper.coapp.json
{
"name": "net.downloadhelper.coapp",
"description": "Video DownloadHelper companion app",
"path": "/Applications/net.downloadhelper.coapp.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-mac-64",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_extensions": [
"weh-nat...@downloadhelper.net",
"{b9db16a4-6edc-47ec-a1f4-b86292ed211d}"
ls -l /Applications/net.downloadhelper.coapp.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-mac-64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 58968767 Mar 10 17:05 /Applications/net.downloadhelper.coapp.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-mac-64
No error if I start in console the coapp directly
and find ~ -type d -name net.downloadhelper.coapp.json returns zero results
when I click on the "re-tester" button in the downloadhelper settings I got the following messages under the browser console
ExtensionError: Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port ExtensionUtils.jsm:56:5 ExtensionError resource://gre/modules/ExtensionUtils.jsm:56

recvPortMessage self-hosted:878
_recv resource://gre/modules/ConduitsChild.jsm:78
receiveMessage resource://gre/modules/ConduitsParent.jsm:283
any clue ?
(basically, the extension catches the video, I can start the download, but then the download does not start, the progression bar stays at 0, whatever the website youtube/dailymotion/etc.. whatever the video on these site)
