i did this with:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ownloadhelper/

but youtube changes frequently so you have to try several apps and addons to get something that will work with current youtube.

Another way is to add 'ss' before the URL of the video you want to download.
For example: if you want to download this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw
Type in the URL: https://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw and press enter.
