Download YouTube videos : the easiest way !

Things become usually easy if you are an open-source user and for Firefox users, this is not an exception. Thousands of extensions and add-ons that can be integrated in the Firefox browser makes it the best browser for quite some years now and others seem no way near.
Now let me focus the light on the main topic, i.e. downloading YouTube videos in a go using Firefox. All you need to do is install an add-on called GreaseMonkey on Firefox, which can be downloaded HERE. After you are done, restart Firefox. A small GreaseMonkey icon appears at the bottom right of your browser which means the add-on has been installed. Now follow THIS link in your browser and click “Install” which appears at the top right corner of the page. In doing so, a userscript called “Downlaod YouTube videos” is installed inside your GreaseMonkey add-on such that whenever you open any video on the YouTube page, a download option (mp4, 3gp or flv) will be integrated in the YouTube page itself. Select the extension of your choice and you are ready to download your favourite video from the site.
This method is one of the most easiest way to download YouTube videos as the download option is integrated in the YouTube page itself, eradicating the need of third-party download managers.

So, enjoy downloading !!
