Rather than installing plug-ins in firefox for downloading videos you can easily copy the viewed video from your firefox's cache. This is how you do it. This is specific to Linux.
Find the location of your browser's cache on the disk
Ideally it should be located at /home/YOUR-HOME-DIR/.mozilla/firefox/YOUR_PROFILE/Cache
Use the file command to find the flv/flash files in the cache
Sort them by time to search through them easily
ls -t arranges the output with respect to the modification time
ls -t arranges the output with respect to the modification time
# ls -t | xargs file | grep -i flash

43258D0Fd01: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 8
17DA266Fd01: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 7
By some hit and trial you will be able to find the file you want to save
Play the files using any video player which supports flv videos
