Yesterday, the Mozilla Add-ons blog reported that two extensions contained nasty trojans that hijacked your PC.
Two experimental add-ons, Version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader and all versions of Master Filer were found to contain Trojan code aimed at Windows users. Version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader contained Win32.LdPinch.gen, and Master Filer contained Win32.Bifrose.32.Bifrose Trojan. Both add-ons have been disabled on AMO.

It is not true. What I am using is the youtube downloader from Sothink, and I am very satisified with the software, and it works well.

I didn't read the whole thing but I wonder if it has something to do with this.
