The latest Youtube problem seems to occur only when I am logged in!
Example:
In one tab I can log in and out of youtube,
In another tab I have youtube search-results which I right-click to check if I can download a video.
If I am logged in then it works, if not then not.
Having the search-results in another tab is for reference such that it is the exact same page (without reload) I right-click videos in.
Possibly a cookie-issue?

There are a number of topics on this subject if you want details, but to make it short, use 5.5.0a19 as of https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/video-downloadhelper-5/D3fUpPoxXMw

Works. 5.5.0a19 fixes this issue and another one: When using the new Firefox47 then Downloadhelper 5.4.2 did not add the Browser-icons and did not download.

I recommend you put 5.5.0a19 on mozilla.org as soon as possible so people (like myself) dont use 5.4.2 anymore.

I was unable to download YouTube videos with Firefox even when I was NOT logged in, but 5.5.0a19 fixed that as well, but is there a fix for Google Chrome ? It is still not working, and I prefer it, as it downloads much faster than Firefox.

VDH does not download YouTube videos on Chrome as Google does not allow it.
