How To Download Videos On Android Browser

 

I've got Firefox running on the Nexus 10, and I'm trying to download a video from a URL. When I tap on the video link, it starts trying to play in the browser, instead of downloading the file. How can I download the file?

Back then, they sure knew how to write and sing slow love songs and power ballads.

There are two ways: 1. Start playing video in full screen, and tap download icon on the bottom right corner. On the Web page tap and hold video element then select 'Download to downloads' from the menu or you can choose different location- private folder/music /video.

Long-pressing on the URL does not provide a download or 'save' option.

Download a downloader (download manager) app like aDownloder. Long press on the Video URL in browser and select 'Share' from the context menu. Then select share with aDownloader (or any other downloader app that you install). This should start downloading using the download manager app.

This may not always work as some sites don't let you download videos. Give it a try.

As of December 2012, I don't see any way to get something like 'Save link as' option in Firefox for Android. However, in some cases clicking on a video link automatically starts downloading the video, but in most cases it starts playing them. Best you can do is to request Firefox to add this feature. Meanwhile, you can try a download utility as I mentioned earlier or use an alternative browser that has this feature for your video downloads.

On android you have to add this feature via an addon like Save Link Menus. After installing the Save Link option will appear as on Firefox for desktop.

I'm not sure if it worked this way back when you asked the question, but this can be done without an addon.

Change Firefox settings to tap-to-play plugins if not already set.

Then click the video link to open the file. Firefox will not play the video if tap-to-play is set to on.

Instead of tapping to play, long-tap the video placeholder until you are presented with a menu which will include an entry to download the file.

As stated on https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/792670 this by design you can’t download videos without the required server‑side ʜᴛᴛᴘ headers.
The reason is dumb users get confused when they are too much options in the menus (I agree that I don’t understand the difference with desktop).
So the rule is always keep the user interface minimal.

Of course, extensions can’t triggers the android file dialog box.

Just use opera mobile classic or vivaldi…
Or learn the hard way that android is always less featured than a Windows® ᴘᴄ.

I had to google a lot before finding this solution.In firefox everything can be configured to the finest details using the about:config link.Just type in about:config in the address bar.The resulting page will have a search bar on top.Search for browser.downloadand you'll see a lot of browser downloading window configurations.The specific configuration might change for different versions of firefox.But what worked for me was this browser.download.preferred.audio/mpegTheo e hugo download torrent. configuration.Set it to false or if you see the 'Reset' button click that.

And thats it.

Hope this helps someone
