HLS Video Download - A Specialized Firefox Add-on for Video Streaming Sites
HLS Video Download is a Firefox add-on specifically designed for downloading videos from the web, particularly from websites using HLS based or single file video stream formats. It fills a niche not covered by more generic video download tools, enabling users to save videos from websites like arte.tv or YouTube directly to their local device. It includes features to monitor, detect, and download these files, but is not yet fully HLS feature-complete. Usage is easy through the extension's toolbar icon and drop-down menu.

User reviews
Taugt leider überhaupt nichts. Videodateien fangen an zu laden und sind nach ein paar Sekunden fertig und somit fehlerhaft. Ich habe es auf mehreren Webseiten getestet.

it discovers video stream but sucks with downloading chunked "blob:https;//..." to a single video file.
in other words, tries to do things VLC does best way.
