Or VideoDownloadHelper, or DownThemAll! :-(

That said my dev edition self-updated last night and... holy shit, the new Firefox flies!

Not sure what you're downloading, but have you ever given youtube-dl (https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/) a try? It's got support for tons of other sites than just YouTube. It doesn't have a GUI, but it's pretty simple to use.

youtube-dl-gui (https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/) is a cross-platform GUI for youtube-dl. It works well for me.

youtube-dl is great, but having a little gui icon in your toolbar was better
