https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdman/ ... t/download

It's a download manager for linux but it recognises and offers to download yt videos. It works very well.

Please dont misunderstand but I don't want to use a separate app.

I need a Firefox addon that can download from Youtube.

Complete YouTube Downloader Features:

But YES, it is by Youtube-DL, and you said that you don't want that . . :?

There's no one streaming dl app that will always work, the streaming sites don't link users dl'ing their stuff so they constantly change protocols. So I don't think you should restrict yourself to one or not use youtube-dl. Install several.
