You can also download videos from you tube by installing Facebook Video add-on in Firefox.
How do you do this in Google Chrome ?
Um, ayo. On step three of the firefox, whatever video your saying to watch won’t show up. So can I just have the last three steps.

I need to save a video from my old facebook profile on to my computer asap and then download it onto my new facebook someone who knows what to do reply and help me out please wud be very appreciated
I always go http://www.tubekeeper.com to download facebook video, just in one click, very convenience.
on Firefox (actually, Waterfox) i used the add-on “DownloadHelper”.
make sure you have the add-on installed and setup in your computer (download folder, etc.).
1. click on the video you want to download.
2. once it starts playing, take note if the DownloadHelper icon on the toolbar is rotating. if yes, you can pause the video or let it play.
3. click on the DownloadHelper icon. there should be a filename that appears.
4. click on this filename.
5. a window pops up showing the progress of the download.
6. after the download has completed, the video file is now in your downloads folder.
