DownloadHelper is a Firefox plug-in that allows you to download videos and images from the web to your local hard drive. DownloadHelper works with many popular sites such as YouTube, MySpace, Google Video, DailyMotion, and others. Videos stored locally are more accessible and available. Nothing is worse than spending time digging through your bookmarks to find a video only to find the site hosting the video is down, or the video has been removed.

If you need a flash (flv) media player check out VLC.
