In order to be able to view videos better, you can find certain files on extensions available for Firefox. These files describe how to install, configure and use the extension to which they are referred. Video DownloadHelper is an extension to simplify backup to a hard drive available in streaming video on a video broadcast website online.

Many sites offer videos to watch from the Internet browser. These videos are generally consulted directly to a reader and offered on that particular website. The disadvantage of this type of broadcasting is that when you want to watch a video again, you must download it a second time. Moreover, it is necessary to be connected to the Internet to view the video.

Video DownloadHelper will allow you to save easily on your hard disk, videos that you have viewed, so they can be referred later.

In the menu bar of Firefox, click on Tools and open the submenu ‘Complimentary Modules.’ Click on ‘getting extensions.’ On the official website of Firefox extensions, look for the extension ‘Video DownloadHelper’ or go directly to a page - this is indicated.

The ‘Install’ button now appears after a few seconds. This helps prevent any unwanted downloads. Once it is available, click on ‘Install now.’ The extension is now installed. It is necessary to restart Firefox for the extension to be usable.

The extension Video DownloadHelper has many options for settings. This does not prevent it from being operational on the system using the default settings.

If you simply want to save videos on your hard disk to be able to view them later, you may keep the default settings. Eventually, you can change the destination directory of files stored.

You can access the menus ‘Setting Video DownloadHelper’ in several ways either by right-clicking on the icon ‘Video DownloadHelper’ and selecting ‘Preferences’ or by navigating to the menu bar, opening the ‘Tools’ menu, clicking ‘DownloadHelper’ and then ‘Preferences’, for example.
