I have both Flashgot and UnPlug, yet this video here...

...defies and mocks my attempts to download it! The problem is unique to this page as I am perfectly able to download every other video ever! Any thoughts or an idea to an alternative downloader extension?

Re: Unable to download a YouTube video
Some videos have a copyright feature that defies downloading, and the publisher wants it that way. There's a lot of copyrighted stuff illegally on Youtube. Nothing to be done; I get them too. I've also tried some with several different D/L programs. After 2, I decide it shouldn't be D/L. You might be able to D/L just the sound with the extension Convert Sound to MP3. Or you might not.

Re: Unable to download a YouTube video
Well, AFAIAC, the video is downloadable in both my Firefox v20 & v57.
Why not search the Addons site & try one or two others?
I run Download Helper (3 coloured balls), in v20 & YouTube MP4 Downloader in v57, but I don't think you can use either in v52.
Try YT MP4 Downloader & see?

FlashGot is seeing a 32MB video/webm & a 3MB audio/webm.

How are you getting anything to show up in Flashgot at all? Whenever I click on the toolbar button, the Flashgot window refuses to pop up.
