You need to be up-to-date with version 4.6.2 —it corrects a problem that started with the latest version of YouTube’s website.

P.S.: I have tested extensively all the video capture software packages and services, and Video DownloadHelper is the best. (To convert the FLV files into MP4, use MPEG StreamClip. But you won’t need that most of the time.)

But when I download a PDF file from SSRN with my Mozilla FireFox, it says that the PDF file is corrupted when I try to open it with my Adobe Reader. Should I blame FireFox, or can’t SSRN handle FireFox well? Who’s to blame?

UPDATE: I have disabled all the FireFox add-ons, and still impossible to get anything from SSRN. Still investigating… I will update you…
