  • Latest version

    Version 1.2.1

    Released Apr 17, 2026 - 27.31 KB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    v1.2.1 — Security hardening
    • Companion app's localhost HTTP API now requires a per-session Bearer
      token (generated on startup, stored in the user's tmpdir with 0600
      permissions). Eliminates CSRF from malicious websites targeting the
      localhost service.
    • /openFolder is now restricted to files inside the configured download
      directory. Paths outside are rejected.
    • Stricter CORS: only browser extension origins are allowed.
    • Protected endpoints require Content-Type: application/json.
    • Request bodies are capped at 64 KiB.
    • No extension-facing behaviour changes; users should not notice anything.

    Version 1.2.0

    Released Apr 17, 2026 - 27.3 KB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    v1.2.0 — New features and fixes

    New:
    - Authenticated HLS support — cookies and headers from the browser are automatically forwarded to the companion app for private/paywalled streams
    - Open Folder button on completed downloads — reveals the file in your native file manager
    - Cancel button for active and queued downloads — stops ffmpeg and updates history
    - Human-readable filenames — uses the detected video title instead of the URL slug
    - Auto-start guide for the companion app (Startup folder, Scheduled Task, manual) — see AUTOSTART.md in the repo

    Fixes:
    - Excluded .ts HLS segments from the detected-videos list to declutter the UI; only .m3u8 playlists are shown for HLS downloads

    Companion app:
    - New /openFolder and /cancel HTTP endpoints (localhost only)
    - Native messaging bridge updated to forward the new actions
    - Companion version bumped to 1.2.0 to match the extension
