Hi..

Earlier when I use to download any video I was shown so many different options regarding downloading the video but now I am able to see one option that is downloading the file in .flv format, earlier all different types of formats were shown but not now? , so why is that happening?

I want to download videos and then transfer these videos to my mobile s4, but this format .flv does not play in my mobile

I have earlier succeeded in doing so but not now since there is just one format that is showing up .flv

There are free video converting programs available. Including some download managers.

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