Quite a few programs are capable of downloading YouTube videos, flash games, and more. But have you ever wondered how to do this without the help of a program? Our instructions will teach you how to download videos using only Mozilla Firefox.

Steps

1. 1 Download Mozilla Firefox.
2. 2 Uncheck the boxes next to the hidden files and folders option.
3. 3 Go to the "User" folder and open "AppData".
4. 4 Go to Local Mozilla Firefox Profile, there you will find a folder with a randomly chosen name that will end with ".default". Go to this folder and go to "Cache".
5. 5 Open Mozilla Firefox and go to YouTube.
6. 6 Open the video you want and take a look at "Cache". There you will see that a new file has just been created containing 0 KB. Copy this file and wait for the video to fully download.
7. 7 When the video is uploaded, copy the file to any folder you want.
8. 8 It will not have an extension, so you should rename it by adding .flv at the end. The video can be viewed.

Tips

• To the second step. To see hidden files and folders, go to the folder and find “Tools” at the top. Now go to Folder Options> View Tab> Show Hidden Files> Folders> Drives.
• To the eighth step. Many players cannot play such a file, so you will need to convert it to a regular format. Please use the appropriate software.
• To the first step. Mozilla Firefox can be downloaded from the link http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
• To the fifth step. Before visiting the site, you should clear the cache by going to Tools> Clear Recent History in Firefox.

Warnings

• If the video is protected, then this method will not help you.
