When I download a movie from YouTube, it downloads in a "firefox document" and I can't watch it. How can I fix this problem?

more options

I recently updated my Firefox version. Ever since, the movies that I download from YouTube are in the form of a "Firefox Document". I can neither open it or watch it after waiting a long time for it to download. What can I do to resolve this issue? I want my movie downloads to be like they are supposed to be... Either in .flv or .mp4 .

I have tried converting the movies into .avi but the audio and video is not synchronized and it makes me want to pull my hair out!

Thanks so much for your help Sincerely, Arbee Burris
