How to download Youtube Video on Firefox. 2 tips and tricks (easyway)

Back in the days when there is no Youtube, people store their video in their hard drive.For some people who were born in the 80 or early 90's ,peer to peer sharing application like Napster,Kazaa or even mIRC plays an important role to share videos and musics .With the high speed internet and cheap broadband internet,people now days just depend on server over the internet to get what they are looking for. But for some, they still want to keep videos or musics in their drive and watch it later on when they are offline.

In this post, I'm going to share how you can download youtube video using Firefox. I will share two ways on how to do this which is :

1.Using Firefox Add Ons (Best Downloader add on)
2.Using Website ("pwn"command)

if the initial video link has http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvFbbtCkoTs
