Greasemonkey not giving me download link??????????
« on: February 16, 2008, 06:52:29 PM »
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.12 with Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2. I'm trying to download a video called "Animator VS. Animation II", but when I go to the page with the video with Greasemonkey enabled, I don't get any download link. I checked for updates for add-ons and updates for Firefox. I can only guess this was caused by installing Firefox 2.0.0.12. In Firefox 2.0.0.11 it worked. I don't know why. Somebody tell me what is the problem? Thank you!!!

I've got a baseball bat ready if nothing works...

When I visit YouTube.com to watch a video while the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox is enabled, Greasemonkey will not give me a link to download a video. Normally it shows a message at the top of the page and when I click on it I get a download link. Am I making any sense?

I don't use Greasemonkey, but how do you know it's Greasemonkey's issue?

Because it used to work with any video and I would be able to simply click on the download link, save it to the HDD and view it with FLV Player, but now if I try to view any videos (not just Animator VS. Animation) I won't get a download link at all. However, it may be an issue with the new YouTube. I don't know.

There are no download links at youtube, as far, as I'm aware of. You need to use FF extension to dwonload youtube videos.

I haven't being making myself clear. Sorry.

Greasemonkey is an extension for FF. When you have Greasemonkey enabled and the correct script installed, and you visit a YouTube page, Greasemonkey provides a link to download a YouTube video with the FLV file extension. However, Greasemonkey will not give me that link anymore.

Now, it's clear. Did you try to reinstall this add-on?

No. I'll try that and see if it makes any difference.
