Easy-to-use guide will show you how to rip, download, and convert video from Facebook or simply embed on other websites.
Many times we see a video uploaded by a friend or family member to Facebook and would love to be able to embed it elsewhere or to simply download a copy to save for personal use.
Facebook obviously doesn’t offer either of these options and so people have to figure out a way to do it on their own.
The easiest method I’ve come across so far is by using a Firefox add-on called Facebook Video 2.1.8, and with it I’ll show you step by step how to get started downloading video from Facebook in no time at all.
STEP #1
Firstly, you must use Mozilla’s Firefox Internet browser.
STEP #2
Secondly, install the Facbook Video 2.1.8 add-on for Firefox.
STEP #3
Now find a video you want to work with. We’ll go over the three options which are to embed, download, or convert to other formats.
Notice the options available before installing Facebook Video 2.1.8.
Now notice those available afterwards.
Embedding and Customizing Video
If you want to embed the video on a another website simply select the “Embed this Video” link on the right and then copy and past the code wherever you choose. Note that you can also customize this code by selecting the “Customize Code” link and entering desired width and length dimensions.
Downloading Video
Select the “Download Video” link. The video will then open up as an .mp4 object, filling the window in its entirety. Now select “Save Page As” from the File tab in the Firefox menu and choose where you want to save it on your PC.
Converting Video
To convert the video to another format select “Convert Video.” You’ll be taken to the Zamzar free file conversion website where you can then choose the format you want to convert it to: 3gp, .avi, iPhone, .flv, .wmv, or even .flac, .mp3, or .wav if you just want the audio from the video. Enter the email address of where you want to receive the converted file and press “Convert” to complete the process.

not good
I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that.
He actually bought me lunch because I found it for him! So let me rephrase:
thank you for lunch
hai all friend

Anyone know where to get a mac version ? :]
To all who says it won’t work try enabling it douchebags
Thanks, mate! Brilliant add-in!
Worked beautifully. Even downloaded an HQ video and ran perfectly.
Thank you
It does not work with HQ video, but others are fine.
Will there be a fix/enhancement to be able to download HQ videos as well
This worked great! thanks for this!
just follow those directions, restart firefox and BAM! it worx!
I cannot find any option even after installing this to my Firefox. !>!>!
this is amazing. unlike the other tutorials, yours was concise and thorough at the same time. loved it! thanks.
the new options only show up in the non-HQ videos?? but the one’s with a HQ version don’t have?
Is there something like this for Google Chrome or Safari?
Amazing
The best way is to use one of these below:
software:

And “thirdly,” learn that there is no such word as “firstly” or “secondly.”
You mean “first,” and “second.”
secondly [ˈsɛkəndlɪ] adv
In the second place; second. Another word for second usually used to precede the second item in a list of topics.

third·ly (thûrdl) adv.
In the third place, rank, or order.

thank you!
Very, very nice!
Thank you………..
Hey.
Wouldn’t right click on the download link and select ‘Save page as’ work as well? Would be easier tbh then loading the movie in your browser.
Note: I haven’t tried it, just speculating
Yes that would work as well.
Would download helper plugin for firefox work or orbit downaloder.
nice one, thank you.
