Can anyone help me please?

I am looking for a video downloader add-on that will let me download videos from any site not just youtube or dailymotion.

I did have one but I had to reset Firefox a few months back and lost it and I can't remember what it was called.

Please help as there is a video from a site I want to download.

I have already been there.

There are 257 to choose from. This is why I am asking. To see what people use and what they recommend.

I have one downloaded but it is only useable on youtube.

I am looking for one that does all sites with video.
