Mozilla add-on for online download from youtube-like sites

So, you’ve got the Mozilla Firefox 3.0 installed, and now the online streaming video download procedure through Real Player (as I had described in my earlier post) is not working??

Don’t worry dude! Just follow the steps below to download any online streaming video from any youtube-like sites:

# You must have Mozilla Firefox installed in your system. The add-on that I’m going to talk about only works with Mozilla Firefox.

# To download the add-on, click here. The name of the add-on is Video Download Helper 3.1.

# Click on “Install Now”. It will install the add-on into your Mozilla Firefox setup, and will ask for a restart of the Mozilla Firefox browser.

# Click on “Restart Firefox”. Now open Firefox again. You should be able to see a new button called “DownloadHelper”.

# That’s it! Now open any url that play an online streaming video/audio/image file. The “DownloadHelper” button will start rotating and getting animated whenever it feels that it can download something for you. Click in that button – you’ll be able to view options to select your video in *.flv format.

#Select the appropriate *.flv that you want, and it will start downloading!!
