I would like a simple way to download videos from the internet. For example, from YouTube, but also from social networks or, ideally, streams. Specific add-ons for YouTube exist, but I'm looking for something more general.

There are probably hundreds of Firefox plugins that promise to do this. However, many of them don't seem to be very good. Which plugin do you use for this?

Cat Catch is the only one ive found to work properly. It looks a bit sketchy and isn't very intuitive but it does work.
