  • You need to provide a lot more context otherwise this is so vague that is unanswerable. –  Nov 03 '17 at 19:07

The universal answer is not to use firefox or chrome, but youtube-dl. Simply install it by running sudo apt-get install youtube-dl in a terminal.

A video, from a supported site, can be downloaded by running youtube-dl 'http://example.com/', i.e. youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ' to download the video of Rick Astley's infamous hit.

You will probably find chrome extensions for some of this, but I've not seen a tool as complete as youtube-dl. It supports every major site out there.
