Download most html5 media on most web pages

What is Universal downloader?
Universal downloader is a Firefox add-on that allows you to easily download HTML5 media from web pages. It ensures that you can still access the right-click context menu, even on websites that try to prevent it. If you come across copied m3u links, the add-on won't download them directly, but you can use youtube-dl or media players like mpv/vlc to handle them.
