Having problems with Video Downloader; why can't some videos be opened even though the Downloader says that they were successfully downloaded. I have this same problem with YouTube videos as well.

Are you using File > Open File... from within Firefox to open those saved files?

No I am not.

If this is what is suggested where do I find " File > Open File... from within Firefox to open"? How does this work?

Here's an example of what I am working with now; I have not problems downloading, saving no error messages: http://theultimatebusinessbreakthrough.jeanneomlor.com/summit2016-4/ 

Ordinarily I just click on the file in my computer directory and it automatically opens. That is not happening.

What's funny is I can see the icons as though the files are there but just now when I went to add the images, the folder is empty!

Thanks!
