*Fast Video Download* is a very popular Firefox add-on that allows you to
download videos directly from your browser. It works with *.FLV files* from a
variety of websites and integrates into your browser very discreetly. One of
Fast Video Download's strongest points is that it automatically detects when
an .FLV video appears embedded on a website. When one is detected, the
program icon changes color, letting you know a video is available. This
version of Fast Video Download also comes with *SearchMenu*, a search
function that integrates into the context menu. If you click on the Fast
Video Download icon in the upper right-hand corner of your browser, you'll
see a settings menu. Here you'll be able to see comprehensive SearchMenu
options and adequate configuration options for Fast Video Download. As a
video detector and download helper, Fast Video Download works well. It
integrates perfectly with Firefox's standard download function and is able to
"pick up" videos that are otherwise hard to get. It doesn't integrate
directly with download accelerators, but by starting the download normally
and taking the URL from the standard manager, you should be able to make it
work. We did have one major gripe with Fast Video Download - when you click
on the Fast Video Download window, you are presented with various options,
including Video Conversion and Advanced Video Tools. These look like settings
for Fast Video Download, when in fact they are separate programs that you
must download from the developer's website. Once you realize this, there is
no problem, but on principle, it is misleading and irritating. *If you
regularly download .FLV from certain websites, Fast Video Download is a
useful add-on.*Download *Fast Video Download Firefox add-on 4.1.3* in
