AFAIK Firefox or any other Browser by default can't download from those sites. You have to use Addons or 3rd party software to download videos from those protected sites. As you mentioned you need to find Addons that will work for those sites and as those sites are actively trying to stop any video downloading from their sights you have to trail and error find one that works.

This something beyond Firefox browser help issues. The are software outside of Firefox browser are either Addons or 3rd party software that one would use to get the videos and then post to Facebook to use. You should ask FaceBook support on how to upload videos from Youtube to Facebook to use.
