          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.

          Unfortunately only versions until May 2018 are listed on the linked page. So that doesn't help anymore. Older versions don't seem to be online anywhere.
