Firefox have recently launched a new add-on to their web browser that allows users to download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion… and other 60+ video sites ! And all embedded objects on a webpage (movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc) ! Directly !

I’m starting to go the vibe that you are a very pro Microsoft lad Mr. OneNote. :)

Pro Microsoft?
Let’s just say that I decided to take a side early on, and not remain neutral on the matter :-) That being said, I keep a very watchful and informed eye on the other side (unlike many MS zealots).
Keep your enemies closer, or something to that effect…

There is a good tool for downloading from more that 100+ websites. It is called VideoGet.
