If I find a good one, I'm probably not coming back though. I'll keep an eye here to see if the devs come back to their senses, but I'm also going to look for other apps doing the same job. We don't need no fancy stuff or whatever, just tell me what videos are on the current tab (limit the displayed list to 5 or 10 items if there's a lot of videos, with a link to open a complete list if needed, which should hardly ever be needed), allow me to select which ones I want to download and where, and that's it. Now, this thing slows Firefox down to a crawl, eats >95% of my available RAM, and it is impossible to access the menu even after reinstalling it or restarting Firefox, before memory usage blasts through the roof, because the menu won't even show up.Ĭlearly, as many other users have said, the devs should revert to the previous version and leave it at that, because it was nice, unobtrusive and did the job as asked.

You guys should deactivate the extension until the issue is fixed, or just totally remove the last update and create a completely new update rather than try to isolate one issue in a bad program.
#ANT VIDEO DOWNLOADER FIREFOX 56 SOFTWARE#
I wonder if software development standards have dropped so bad that a program like this is allowed on a major web browser like firefox, even though I have reported the problem no one seems to care. You can activate each extension individually, but the moment you activate this Ant Video Downloader the issue will begin again. The affected firefox process is the one controlling all firefox extentions, hence terminating it stabilizes firefox and the computer but it kills all active extensions. Once Firefox is activated the system RAM begins to run wild after about a minute. It took me quite sometime to isolate the problem to this extension. The memory consumption is uncontrollable and very risky for a hard drive. I studied computer science and did some programming many years ago hence I still recognize a blatant MEMORY LEAK and THRASHING - meaning this extension exponentially consumes excess system RAM until virtual memory is activated essentially hanging your computer that even a proper shutdown is near-impossible. I had to uninstall the extension two days ago. Users of Ant.com Toolbar gave it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Ant.com Toolbar runs on the following operating systems: Windows.
It was initially added to our database on. The latest version of Ant.com Toolbar is currently unknown. Someone created a complicated update and ruined the programming, now the extension is essentially a malware. Ant.com Toolbar is a Shareware software in the category Audio & Multimedia developed by Ant.com Toolbar.
