I have been using the ANT video downloader extension in firefox since years. I just installed ubuntu mate 18.04 with latest firefox and after installing the extension I am asked to install a native app that is a .msi file and can't be open in ubuntu with any program. Any solutions?
Thank you

As mentioned on their website, the current version extension (3.x for FF57 and later) only supports Windows (the reason for the .msi file). A Linux release is planned but not yet.
To use on Linux, you need to use the old extension version 2.x and FF56 or lower. I use FF52esr to keep up on security updates.
Some additional explanation is here - ABOUT THE NEW ANT VIDEO DOWNLOADER 3.0 .
Previous versions of the extension are here: Ant Video Downloader Version History.

Ok, I can understand that but how can I install the older versions? Which commands do I need to put into the terminal? Thank you for helping me out because it is so complicated for me....
