Balázs Turi (ID: 00000043e5bb9a3b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/29/2024 I LOVED this plugin, it was AMAZING... until this recent update. I don’t know what the hell y'all did to it, it was working fine before, not it doesn't start downloading after scanning the a page. I tried to stop it from updating on my second laptop but ofc I was not able to so now I'm screwed.

Joe Elite (ID: 0000000e3452845f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/28/2024 The fix isn't working. It will detect the video now, but nothing happens when you press start. It worked perfectly fine last week.

Iosif Gagyi Palffy (ID: 000000ed8667f982) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/14/2024 Tried the website and the extension, neither detect anything, the website (Fdown) says the video might be private (it's not). I don't blame the plugin, I'm sure FB tries hard to keep that stuff undownloadable, but the fact is that the plugin doesn't work. UPDATE: At least the website works now (for Reels anyway), tried the plugin again 2 years later on FB, refreshed the page, still nothing.
