It has nothing to do with enabling Dev. mode.
It's gone again. I've reported it in the Developers forum.

It's back after enabling the extension, must turn Dev. mode on and enable it.

Thanks guys.

Resolved, must turn Dev. mode on and enable the extension.
Thanks guys.

Appologies Asyn, It was the developer mode settings that got turned off when the browser got updated.

Hi, I have the same or similar problem. I go to Extensions, then turn on developer mode, but "Avast Video Downloader" is not there, therefore I cannot enable it.

Are you using the latest version?
(I had to again turn on Developers Mode and turn on the Video Downloader extension. It was turned off.)

Yes it is updated to latest version, Version 89.1.8899.91 (Official Build) (64-bit)

It no longer shows up in the toolbar.
You'll find it when you hover over a video you want to download.

That's what I used to do. I would open YouTube and hover my cursor over the video I wish to download and the green block would appear.
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear anymore.

The screenshot was of a live video using the Avast Secure Browser
at the time that I took the screenshot. It isn't from a picture, so it obviously works.
The problem is to find out why it's not working for you.
A good way to start might be via a clean install of the browser.

Download the installer from here, https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser
Download the Secure Browser Removal tool from here, https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe
Save your Bookmarks via the Book Marks Manager if you have custom bookmarks so you can import them when you re-install.
Uninstall Secure Browser via Programs and Features - Reboot
Run the removal tool, reboot, run the installer import your favorites if you saved them.
A video to help with the installation: https://youtu.be/r_VLA0HMLQM
Report back if that's solved the problem or not.
Avast has offered a separate tool to totally remove the Secure Browser if the above instructions don't work.
You can find that tool here, https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=230288.msg1531315#msg1531315
