No notability as far as I can see. Gaba (talk)  22:02, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's got extensive coverage in reliable sources: Best Firefox Extensions from PC Magazine, profile from Business Insider, review from PC World, review from TechRadar, review from CNET, and a French review from Clubic, and a German review from Chip.de.  My French and German are not very good, but they look reliable.  There's a bit more coverage from PC World and other computing websites, including various top ten lists and such.

 * Actually, it looks like the TechRadar content is licensed from Chip.de. I should have looked more closely at that.  Anyway, I added a reception section. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Since i am the original author of this extension, i don't feel like i am the best person to advocate for keeping this article online, but here are some data about this Add-on (Mozilla):
 * it has been for 6 years in the top 2 most popular Firefox addons
 * as of today, it has 6,322,246 daily users (average over the last 7 days), over twice more than the third most popular (Firebug (software) with 2,821,688 users)
 * the total number of installations to date is 168,218,636, with 1,755,411 installs in the last 30 days
 * a Google search for "Video DownloadHelper" (with the double quotes) returns over 1 million results
 * YouTube lists over 10 000 tutorial videos about how to install or use DownloadHelper
 * the Wikipedia List of Firefox extensions page lists 40 add-ons. If Video DownloadHelper is to be removed from Wikipedia for notability reasons, what about the other 38 that are less used ? Migut (talk) 17:27, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Easily passes the notability threshold with widespread coverage in reliable sources Philg88 ♦talk 09:16, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good deal of secondary source coverage. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 04:01, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
