Is the plugin that you speak of called "Download YouTube Videos as
MP4"?  I have tried some extensions -- e.g. "Flash and Video
Download", "Download Helper" -- that require a bit of video to be
played initially before it can be downloaded (outside of YouTube;
for YouTube videos, I prefer to use youtube_dl).
