I can't get the "download" indication anymore. I used to just be able to click on that rectangle that would appear that said "download", but it doesn't appear anymore. I have flash player installed, and I use VLC as the program to open videos. So, my question is: How do I download videos? Thanks, Bill (schglerg)

hello,

You can use the free version of RealPlayer to download videos from Facebook. Use it to automatically download Facebook videos that your friends have posted recently. Once you have the application installed, just log into your Facebook account and you can start downloading Facebook videos to your RealPlayer library. However, be aware that some videos have restrictions and DRM, so you may not be able to download all the videos you see on Facebook.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.
