Browser / Version: Firefox 117.0 Operating System: Windows 10 Tested Another Browser: Yes Edge
Problem type: Something else Description: Cannot download videos Steps to Reproduce:
I'm attempting to download a video from Facebook. I was trying workarounds with Video Download Helper, but found a guide to access the raw MP4 using mbasic.facebook.com.
I can click the link and get direct access to the MP4. But when I attempt to download it with "Save Video As", Firefox saves 11kb of HTML and not the MP4.
When I do the same process in MS Edge, it works.
So, the short version: I can directly access the "save video as" link on mbasic.facebook.com, and on Edge it works and on FF it does not.
