using Video DownloadHelper extension app for LibreWolf in masOS

I have installed LibreWolf in macOS Ventura, and I want to use the extension Video DownloadHelper to download streaming content. It requires Video DownloadHelper Companion App to be installed as well.

I have no problem working with it in FireFox. However, Librewolf reports it as 'Companion App not installed: Checking companion app returned: No such native application net.downloadhelper.coapp' in the Preferences page of the extension. image

The same page is shown in Firefox has 'Companion App installed: Found companion app: VdhCoApp 1.6.3, Companion app binary: /Applications/net.downloadhelper.coapp.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-mac-64' image

Also, I do not understand why the following page shows me the installer for Windows when it is opened in LibreWolf while it correctly displays the installer for mac when opened in Firefox.
