Easily Download Youtube Videos Using Flashgot

FlashGot is one of the most popular Firefox extension which allows you to seamlessly integrate your download manager with Firefox, by adding a new option to the Firefox download window and when you select that option it adds the download link in your favorite download manager.

I have been using flashgot since Firefox 1.5 and it keeps on getting better and better and this time the flashgot developers have added an exciting new feature to flashgot called “FlashGot Media” which adds a new item to the right click context menu of Firefox (this only shows up whenever a video is playing) so that you can easily download Youtube videos from inside Firefox without installing any separate software’s and it is the easiest and the quickest way to download Youtube videos, here’s how it works:

open any Youtube video and right click on an empty area (not the Youtube player) and click on “FlashGot Media” or just press Ctrl+F7 and it will detect the the embedded video in that page and it will start downloading that video in your default download manager (chosen in flashgot settings) ,that’s it once your download manager finishes downloading the video file you can watch it.

Edit: This doesnt only works with youtube!
