Sometimes I want to download videos from Youtube (for personal use) and when I use my desktop (running Ubuntu 12.04 whit FF 32.0.3) I can use "Ant video downloader" and "download youtube videos as mp4". Works fine.

My laptop runns Linux Mint 13 whit FF (sorry, unknown version) and there I can not find this add ons. Maybe they are there somewhere but I'm to stupid to find them. Anyway, I got two other download add ons but it seems impossible to download videos. I can not always save a video and if I'm able to download I can only find a file of 0 bytes. Like it would be some sort of a stream or someting. I got "One click download" and there I can see how big the file would be when downloaded. When I can not download, no info about the file size is shown. Its just 3 dots in a row, no numbers.

I can't get it. Both machines are running Linux but Mint seems bo be blocking some features in FireFox and I don't know why.

Post here with that Linux Mint 13 device and Firefox, we'll tell you which version of Firefox it has installed.

I did check out the FF version number for my laptop. It said: version 32.0.

I do not think the versions is the problem as I had this problem for long and it won't go away even if i update the system. But I'm not the expert.
