Using Firefox Video Downloadhelper; can I simply Right Click the video and 'Save Link As...', in order to navigate the video to a folder of my own choosing? I do not like the video going into a specially secreted folder videohelper sees fit to put it in. I do not know why they started to do it this way(?) 

    Please provide detailed step by step instructions then I will be in no doubt what to do.  It is all becoming too complicated these days!

Hello. For detailed help for Video Downloadhelper https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/ also please see their detailed Video on how to use their Extension : You may want to watch their video about using Video DownloadHelper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZT8yI60k_4

You may also want to check out their support forum : https://outgoing.prod.mozaws.net/v1/4189a0be3e4769b6f2bf9c1729e9af17d161f0feac64c47b9788bf5d01cdebd2/https%3A//groups.google.com/forum/%23%21forum/video-downloadhelper-q-and-a

All this information is in detail on the 1st URL supplied.

Mozilla only ok's Extensions submitted by Developers to be used with Firefox. They ok them only and give the Developer a web page to distribute their Extension from. This in no means that Firefox Support does the Developers Support when their page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/ has a Support link and a contact Link.
