Apparently so, from looking at some alternative apps for downloading
from FF - they are currently not working either...

Part of what I was trying to understand is whether the problem was
with the app or with youtube, which also gets changed in 'destructive'
ways quite often.

I was wondering if anyone knew of an app or pgm which IS currently
working. The choir folks could sure use the info...
