... Nothing of this sort here... Trying a non-protected, non-music video like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6M_vYUUx20 I can fetch without issues: I was curious to try a "protected" music video from VEVO, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BilaShsQphM Even HD versions are available to download, provided I first select them in YT's embedded player (quality settings) Those MKV files contain VP9/opus encodes; if you are instead after a 720p MP4 file encoded in h264/aac, then you first have to disable (temporarily) Media Source Extensions (MSE) in NM28's settings Options -> Content tab -> Video -> uncheck MSE so that YT serves you that type of stream: If you're that interested in YT content, I'd recommend a specialised tool (not a browser plugin) like the constantly updated CLI app youtube-dl, if you're willing, that is, to work in the Windows Command Prompt... You should've created a separate support post and let @roytam1 know about this issue; needless to say, you should PM him log-in credentials too, if any hope of debugging this... Moonchilld have EOL'd Tycho (PM27), so 0 chances they address this now...

its the patched one right? thanks

IDM integration v6.27.7 XUL ("legacy") browser extension is compatible with Firefox 52.9.0 ESR; since PM28XP is built on the UXP-T2 platform, forked from Mozilla 52.6.0 ESR, that same extension is compatible with PM28XP; sadly, it isn't installable out of the box, because its install.rdf file (inside extension's .xpi file) does not contain Pale Moon's GUID (={8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}). You have two options: 1. Install "Moon Tester Tool" Pale Moon extension on NM28; open addons manager, locate MTT's entry there and access its preferences panel; click the Select file button and then navigate to IDM's installation directory (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Internet Download Manager") and select file idmmzcc2.xpi; it should now offer to install; restart browser and see the IDM addon installed and enabled! As you've already done, be sure to enable Pale Moon browser in the main IDM app's prefs... 2. Patch the existing extension version yourself; I won't provide a detailed guide here, but you should first decompress file idmmzcc2.xpi with 7-zip, open file install.rdf and after line 17 add a targetApplication block specific to PM: <!-- Pale Moon --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id> <em:minVersion>27.0.0a1</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>28.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> Save the changes made; while you're at it, you can safely also delete dir META-INF, because PM does not enforce extension-signing... Re-zip modified contents of folder idmmzcc2 back to a idmmzcc2.xpi file and replace the original with it; restart NM28; if the extension is not picked up automatically, you may have to manually install it via drag-n-drop on NM28's addon manager tab...

You should only need to install the IE8 Cumulative Update to avoid this, but I thought that problem was supposed to be fixed now anyway? I guess we'll find out on the 11th.

Hmmm. I went off to Microsoft to see what the update was. "Description of the security update for the Windows kernel information disclosure vulnerability in Windows Server 2008: August 14, 2018" Isn't that useful? Turns out the same sort of fix is being handed out to Server 2008 users and everyone else in sight, up to people with Win 10 version 1803. It's got general applicability, so it really ought to run for you. I see three possibilities right now. ONE is that you've got a mislabeled file. kb4338380 ought to be about 580 KBytes for your x86 system. Is it? TWO is that thius is a memory-related problem, and it may be you don't have enough memory to be affected. Maybe it only affects people with more than 8 GB of DRAM, for example. THREE is that there might be some sort of dependency, that KB4338380 won't install unless KB1234567 is installed first. I looked but I didn't see evidence of such a thing. Worst case, you never get that update to run. What's going to happen? Again, from MS: "To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application. The vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or to elevate user rights directly, but it could be used to obtain information that could be used to try to further compromise the affected system. ..... The type of information that could be disclosed if an attacker successfully exploited this vulnerability is uninitialized memory." Okay, if you're in charge of computer security at a Strategic Air Command base somewhere bordering on Eastern Europe and we're at Defcon Two tightening up to Defcon One and the friendly natives are tossing Molotov cocktails over the fence .... this kind of vulnerability might concern you. But in your shoes?

Their is no reason to leave XP.
