Following are some of the most popular downloaders that you can use:ġ. Several third-party software can help you download the video in different formats and qualities. One of the easiest ways to save videos from YouTube is by using a downloading tool. In this guide, we will discuss some of the ways to save YouTube videos. However, there are several ways to save YouTube videos offline so that you can view them later without any internet connection. Although the platform has made it quite simple to stream videos, it does not offer an easy way to download the content. Personally, if it is not in a HTML5 supported format, I recommend pointing Firefox to VLC media Player Portable as a helper application or just downloading it, instead of plugins.YouTube is the go-to platform for millions of people across the globe to watch videos on any topic they can think of. If you are a web developer and want video in a web page, I recommend using HTML 5 and tags instead of and tags with the supported file formats and codecs (MP4 files using H.264 with AAC or MP3 codecs, WebM files, Ogg files using Theora with Vorbis, FLAC, or Opus codecs, MP3 files, FLAC files, and WAV files using uncompressed PCM). It is like having almost the entire VLC program in the plugins folder (Apparently copying the plugin itself causes it to not locate the needed files).
In addition, I had an old post detailing VLC plugin, and it required the various folders and DLLs along with the plugin DLL to function properly (GUI for player and codecs and muxers for media files). You would have to disable 64-bit Firefox to use it, detailed at, as 64-bit Firefox only supported Flash and Silverlight as 64-bit plugins. If you decide to do so, keep in mind Firefox portable comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
I am not sure if they are still supported in the ESR versions of Firefox Portable (version 45 at time of writing), but that may be worth a try. Firefox 51.0.1 Portable in any language of choice can be found at. You would need an older version before 52 to use other plugins, though I don't recommend it. Flash itself will eventually be dropped sometime in the future.
Plugins is becoming a dying technology for browsers with HTML5 and various APIs introduced. Firefox, as a version 52, has dropped support for all plugins except for Flash.
