Unplug is a Firefox addon that enables you to download videos from sites such as youtube among other Internet video sharing sites. As some Internet video sharing websites do not have an option to download videos directly to your computer therefore you can only view and submit them. This Firefox addon is a very easy solution to this problem.

This article was written based on testing with Firefox 3.0 running on OpenSuSE 11.0

Requirements

1) Your computer has a working Internet connection under Linux
