The error is not that of extension. That is the site's error. I mean youtube website PHP error. They might be using something to prevent downloading.

Anyway the error you mentioned is not coz of FF extension.

Hey guys,

Checking out the Firefox extension comments it looks like YouTube somehow prevents Video Downloader from working with the videos hosted there. This site has some workarounds, but it looks like for the time being, Video Downloader doesn't work on YouTube.

Please note that I don't endorse downloading videos from them. Please read the YouTube terms of service before you make a decision to try any method.
