All my videos are downloaded as Firefox HTML files
Every time I try and downloade a video file regardless of the type, it always comes up as an HTML file, which can't be opened with anything else other than Firefox. Switching to "All Files" when saving the video doesn't help either. Please tell me how I can fix this. Thank you

I should start by saying that sites don't always appreciate users downloading their videos and they can make it difficult to save videos without an add-on.
So the built-in feature is integrated into the right-click context menu. When you right-click a video in Firefox's built-in video player, you may have an option to "Save Video As". If this is grayed out or if the site preempts Firefox's usual right-click context menu, then it's more complicated.
What method of saving are you trying to use?

This is mostly for WEBMs I get from forums and imageboards, along with the occasional facebook or yourube video
BTW this is an issue on all my browswers
What method of saving are you trying to use? For example:
- right-click the player > Save Video As
- using the Page Info dialog, Media panel
- other
Do you get a valid media file or do you get an HTML (error) page?
What do you see if you open such a file in a Firefox tab?
