I would like to be able to download YouTube videos.

Is there a Firefox add-on that will allow me to download YouTube videos onto my MacMini?

I tried Video DownloadHelper and YouTube Video Downloader and didn't see any action.

Do I need to setup settings a certain way to make it work?

What are the steps to make it work?

Thank you for your assistance.

There are thise on the Addon page or separate software that can do them or paid software. Firefox by default can't download YT videos because of the site protections. You have to look at those software and decide which works for you.

Hi markwarner22,

I downloaded the two main add-ons: Video DownloadHelper YouTube VideoDownloader

Neither of these add-ons accomplished the ability to download a YouTube video.

So markwarner22, do you know an add-on or separate app that can easily download YouTube videos?

What software/app can do it?

Thank you for your assistance.
