YouTube Video Downloader provides GUI and command-line download interface (Download Squad)

May 12th 2010 5:27PM I've always just used KickYoutube.com. Much easier than downloading a program or any other method I've seen.

Find your video on Youtube.com but type the word "kick" before "you" so it changes from this:

to this:

Built-in Account Manager coming to Firefox, heralds a new age of security and convenience (Download Squad)

May 3rd 2010 1:51PM Honest question...did all those services in the past create jumbled
random passwords for you so you don't even know them?

I'm not sure I would trust this thing. One glitch or breakdown from
either your computer or Firefox and all your online accounts are done
with, right? Well, maybe that's exaggerating. Maybe you could go to
each and every site and use the "recover password" option...unless
that uses your email account - you don't even know the password to
that (unless you can recover it, too).

What happens if I'm on a friend's laptop and I wanna check my
Facebook? I don't know the password - my browser does. So would I be
royally screwed if I wanted to use a different computer some time.
What if I get a new computer (or if my old one crashes or gets
stolen)? This whole thing seems like a mess waiting to happen (mostly because I don't even know my own passwords).

Apr 27th 2010 11:00AM For going to the address bar in Firefox, I've always used Ctrl+L....or if you want to automatically jump to the Firefox search bar, use Ctrl+K. Not sure if those are universal, but they're awesome time savers in Firefox.
