Yes, "Download Helper" is very prominent in combination
with Firefox. However, it requires interactivity within
the browser. In case that's not desired, youtube-dl can
help. For non-YT-videos, get-flash-videos (a per script)
works in many cases. The result FLV file can be played
comfortably with mplayer. I'm not sure in how far this
combination can be integrated with the web browser...

Again, it's worth noting that you should not touch a
running system. ;-)
