Mozilla will provide Firefox 4 Beta for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X in a variety of languages, though this first version is only available in English. Eventually you will be able to get the latest version of the Firefox 4 Beta in many languages. For builds for other systems and languages not provided by Mozilla, see the Contributed Builds. Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 calls for Mac OS X 10.4 and later, a Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 or PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor, 128 MB of RAM (256 MB or greater is recommended) and roughly 200. To prevent Firefox from automatically updating itself after you install an older version, you'll need to change your Firefox update settings: In the Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Firefox and select Preferences. Click the menu button and select Options. In the General panel, go to the Firefox Updates section.

Mozilla Firefox add-on for downloading and converting videos from various online sources that also integrates recording capabilities
Video DownloadHelper integrates into your Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers and offers you the possibility to effortlessly download videos hosted on different websites, such as YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Twitch, and so on.
Video downloader designed to work with Firefox and Google Chrome
Deploying the Video DownloadHelper add-on to your web browser is resumed to following the standard procedure when working with extensions on each platform. However, you are not required to restart the host app for the changes to take effect.
The Video DownloadHelper icon will be placed next to the address bar, and you need to activate the associated panel to see all the available download options. Note that the extension automatically evaluates each website to detect downloadable media content.
Download, convert, or record media content to a location of your choice
Before starting to use the Video DownloadHelper add-on make sure to navigate to its Preferences and set the output location or tweak its behavior by setting the maximum number of concurrent downloads, the number of download retries, if you want to have the Facebook, Twitter, Vine, or Tumblr helpers active, and so on.
What’s more, Video DownloadHelper can detect the various available sizes for the video and allows you to choose the one you want to download. The same panel provides access to the complete list of websites supported by the add-on.
Video DownloadHelper can also help you convert local files, although you need to manually install a converter tool on your system by using a Terminal command. Last but not least, you can record the current browsing session or use the built-in Periscope auto-recording tool.
Browser add-on that can download media hosted online or capture your activity
To sum up, Video DownloadHelper offers you the possibility to download to your computer content from a vast number of video hosting websites. The extension also facilitates the access to a video converter and can record the current browsing session.
Worth mentioning is that even though you can use most of the Video DownloadHelper features without any limitations, you need a license to get access to all the conversion capabilities.

Video DownloadHelper was reviewed by Sergiu Gatlan- Added aggregator tool
- In some situations, on sites streaming separately video and audio, Video DownloadHelper is not able to recognize both streams as being parts of the same media and does not offer automatic aggregation. As a result, the user may end up with an audio or video-only file, depending on the chosen variant. When an audio-only and a video-only file have been downloaded, it is now possible to use the local aggregation tool to merge those two files to a single audio-video media file.
