Add-ons for firefox download VKontakte. How to download music and video from VKontakte in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox

Recently, more and more people are interested in how to download music from the Vkontakte website. I decided not to bypass this problem and study some ways of how this can be done, due to the fact that there is no direct such function on the social network site.

After studying some materials and spending a lot of time, I have identified the following methods:

VKontakte search plugins for Mozilla Firefox

If you keep opening new tabs this extension is no problem. Take your loading capabilities to the next level with this add-on. This can not only speed up your downloads with some behind-the-scenes tricks, but it can also make it easier to pause and resume downloads and collect all the links and images on a web page in one go.

It includes some handy search, filtering and comparison features. This is another add-on for managing your important sidebar. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. Shutdown. Titles activate Cinema Mode when you watch video on the Internet, dimming the rest of the screen to give you less eye strain and improve your video viewing experience.

1. Using special programs... I will not list them, but you can find a couple of them if you wish. The method is not entirely reliable, since you need to enter your username and password directly in the programs themselves, and I personally don't need this, because I don't want to become a spammer later when my password is stolen. Yes, besides, installing additional software and studying it are additional troubles.

Regarding security, you can, of course, register an additional "left" account and let them hack it there, but these are also unnecessary gestures.

2. Installing scripts... Some do not even know what it is, but here you also need to use it somehow. In addition, the scripts are not clear by anyone and it is not a fact that tomorrow they will work as well as today. Doesn't fit either.

3. Online services... The good thing is, only they grow like mushrooms and disappear very quickly too, but we need a reliable way.

4. Dig into the browser cache... A good way, where nothing needs to be installed, but very long and laborious. For anyone interested, you can read its essence in the article "".

5. What you should focus on is downloading music from Vkontakte using the Mozilla Firefox browser... The only drawback here is that whoever does not have it will have to be installed. I advise everyone to switch to this browser: it is optimal in terms of capabilities, speed and security.

If the browser is installed, then you will need to install a plugin for it. I recommend installing from the official site here is a link https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/. Install the plugin and restart your browser. You should have three balls in the lower right corner (not necessarily the right and not necessarily the lower one), and an additional item “” in the “Tools” tab of the browser.

If the installation was successful, go to the Vkontakte website and look for the desired entry there, click on the triangle so that the track starts playing.

The balls should start spinning. Click on them and from the drop-down menu select the item " Download».

We are waiting for a while for the file to load, and we go to check. Click the tab " Tools - Downloads»

And you can see that the last file was downloaded from the vkontakte.ru site.

If we run the file, we will hear the song that we wanted to download to our computer.

How to download videos from Youtube and Vk in Firefox. Conclusion.

A few more words. I recommend that you use multiple browsers. For example, Chrome is the main one, and Firefox is for certain purposes, for example, for downloading videos and music. Although most browsers already have their extensions and add-ons, they also slow down the browser. And the one when crammed with different plugins and extensions really works 2-3 times slower than without them

Judging by the statistics of visits to this site, the most popular browsers among my readers are Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
There are extensions for these browsers that make it easy download from siteIn contact with music and videos... Today I will tell you how to install them, and how to use these extensions (plugins).

How to download music and video from VKontakte in Google Chrome

So, we launch the browser Google chrome... Go to the Chrome Web Store website. Here, in the column on the left, select the section "Extensions" - "Social networks and communication". In order for us not to search for the required plugin for a long time - enter the phrase "Additional settings" in the search bar at the top and press Enter:

After that, the extension we need will appear in the column on the right, which is called “ Additional VKontakte settings”. To install - click the "Free" button next to it: A window will appear in which we click "Add":

Plugin installed!

Now let's try with it download the music.

We go to our page In contact with... We open "Audio recordings".

When you hover the mouse cursor over the name of a musical composition, an arrow will appear on the right. If you hold the cursor on it, then the size of the audio recording (in MB) will also be displayed.

Click on the arrow and the song will be downloaded!

You can go to the folder with the downloaded files and see it there (by default, everything is saved in the Downloads folder). If you do not know where the downloaded song was saved, then click in the Google Chrome browser on the "Configure and manage Google Chrome" button in the upper right corner: Then select the "Downloads" item - under the file name, click the "Show in folder" button:

Now let's check how to download VK video... We go to “My videos”. We launch any video. After that, “Download” buttons will appear under the video in the right column. Click one of them (depending on what video quality you need) - the video will be downloaded immediately!
Don't be surprised if suddenly the Download buttons don't appear under some of the videos. The fact is that download links appear only for those videos that are located on the contact server. This is a minus of this plugin (perhaps the author will improve it over time). If you need to download the video urgently and desperately, you can use the service that I have already told you about.

How to download music and video from VKontakte in Mozilla Firefox

Launch the browser Mozilla Firefox... We go to the page with add-ons. Find the extension here and click the "Add to Firefox" button next to it:
In the window that appears, click the "Install Now" button:
Then restart your browser.

After that, an icon will appear on the panel, which is three connected balls: If you are currently on a site page where there are no running audio or video recordings, then it will be inactive (and black and white). If you turn on any audio recording or video for playback, the icon will instantly activate and the balls will turn colored.

Let's check how the plugin works in In contact with.
To do this, go to your page in the "My Audio Recordings" section (not necessarily on your own). We include any composition. Then we find our multi-colored rotating icon on the panel and click on the arrow to the right of it: The name of the audio recording being played will appear (albeit in a somewhat inconvenient form - alphanumeric). Hover the mouse cursor over it and select the "Download" item:
Then all that remains is to select a folder to save and click “Save”. All! Music downloaded!

Video from Vkontakte downloaded in exactly the same way as audio. Perhaps I will not describe it again.
By the way, Video DownloadHelper can download videos not only from vk.com, but also from other services (for example, Youtube).

That's all. I hope that now it will not be a problem for you download audio or video from Vkontakteto your computer.

Small software solutions, applications, add-ons, VKontakte plugins for Mozilla Firefox can simplify a number of important tasks for a user of the VKontakte social network. So, for example, VK plugins for Firefox can:

• save interesting links from the Internet on the VK user page;
• share your favorite entries on the Web by transferring them to VKontakte;
• download audio recordings, songs, music, musical compositions;
• download videos, videos, films, clips, videos ...

And this is just an incomplete list of the unique features that VKontakte plugins for Mozilla Firefox have. How to find such applications that can expand the capabilities of an ordinary browser, how to install them on your computer, we would like to talk in the next article on our site.

First of all, the following step-by-step instructions will be useful to everyone who uses the Mozilla Firefox browser, which often goes to the VKontakte social network. Plugins are a wonderful tool that allows you to customize browser capabilities for specific VK tasks.

VK plugins for Mozilla Firefox: how to find

Step # 1

To begin with, you need to start (i.e. enable) the Mozilla Firefox browser, with which all subsequent work will be done.

When the browser is running, you will have to go to its add-ons (the "Manage add-ons" settings window). This is done in two ways:

a) by the key combination Ctrl + Shift + A
b) through the menu "Tools" - "Add-ons"

Step # 2

On the plugins settings page for Mozilla Firefox, on the "Get add-ons" tab, we will be interested in the search line "Search among add-ons", where we can enter a search word related to the social network VKontakte, since we want to get VKontakte plugins for Mozilla Firefox.

Here you can consider a variety of options, for example:

To start searching, you can either click on the magnifying glass icon to the right of the search bar, or simply press Enter on your keyboard.

Step # 3

The search will start and return the results - the very plugins, applications, extensions and add-ons for VK that you wanted to find.

As you can see, there are VK plugins for Firefox, with which you can download music and videos, you can share interesting pages, you can add the "Publish" button to the browser, and other useful and interesting plugins.

Step # 4

In order to install and try out a specific plugin, you need to click on the corresponding "Install" button, which is on the right side of any of the found applications.

In principle, they could even install them all at the same time, and after testing, delete those that you don't like or will work badly (incorrectly).

Step # 5

After installation, some plugins ask us to restart the browser. If this extension is the only one that you would like to install, if you will not install other plugins, you can restart the browser immediately after the installation is complete.

If you want to install several VK plugins for Mozilla, then install them all, and only then restart the Firefox browser.

There is even a special option for restarting (see screenshot). As a last resort, you can always cancel the installation by clicking on the "Cancel" option.

The Learn More link will help you learn more about the application you are installing. True, often the description is provided in only one English language, which makes acquaintance with the information not very convenient.

Step 6

After installing and restarting the browser (if necessary), you can already work with plugins. It's difficult to talk about specific instructions here, since all plugins are different.

Many Mozilla browser users wonder where to find plugin for downloading videos from VKontakte in Firefox... In fact, there are a huge number of such extensions, each of which has its own characteristics. This article will discuss the most convenient and practical ones. In the meantime, we invite you to read the introductory information.

In the Mozilla store, you will find a huge number of extensions with which it will be possible to download videos from a social network in the Firefox browser.

First, we will consider the features of each of them, and then proceed directly to the installation procedure.

And in the pop-up window, click on Add... Then we strongly recommend that you restart your browser by closing and reopening it.

Many music lovers get annoyed when an audio track is played online in a player on some website (well, for example, in VK), but there are no links to download it. And, of course, they immediately ask themselves what, in fact, to do in this case. After all, you still want to get a song, a composition of your favorite artist, your favorite band in your personal collection (not the right word!).

We hasten to please you. The answer to this question, and in a detailed form, is set out in this article. From it you will learn about popular Firefox add-ons for downloading music on VKontakte and other websites.

Attention! All extensions for downloading music discussed in this review can be downloaded from the official site of add-ons for FF (addons.mozilla.org).

Addons to upload to VK

Plugin for downloading music in Mozilla Firefox and not only ... He also knows how to "suck" at a decent speed from VK pages GIFs and videos. Which, of course, without any reasoning, is a bold plus to the custom functionality.

By the way, the legibility of the social network pages - here I can download, but not here - he "does not suffer". Tracks in publics, groups, personal profiles - all the same for him. The coveted "Download" button (down arrow), as well as the bitrate of the audio track, will be displayed. This means that the user can use it to download all the tracks he likes.

Also on files "omnivorous" addon program. Additional features include downloading photos and videos (in addition to audio). Launches the download with one single click of the mouse.

Provides all the necessary information on files: bit rate, size, duration (minutes / seconds). Retains the original track names. After the download is complete, you do not need to rename them, they will be displayed as in the VK player.

Quite a decent analogue of the previous solutions considered. Its functionality includes: loading audio and video files while preserving preset parameters, displaying links in a frame (in a video player), loading all tracks on the current page.

Plus, in the latest version of the add-on, an option is available for filtering by the same name, quality (removes tracks with a bitrate less than 320). And also the ability to receive direct download links on the YouTube video hosting.

Universal "rockers"

The following are downloader add-ons designed to get audio tracks and other media content not only from VK, but also from other social networks, video hosting sites and websites. At their core, in varying degrees, they are universal tools.

Add-on from the popular online service SaveFrome.net for getting direct links. It is held in high esteem and respect among ordinary PC users.

The secret of his stay in the TOP is a user-friendly interface, maximum process automation. And also a very solid base of supported web resources: VKontakte, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Souncloud, etc. There are more than 40 sites in total.

In addition to the URL, the addon provides all the available quality formats of the file of interest. Among its additional options - saving playlists in the computer memory with the ability to play in the player.

About functions - everything, as they say, with him: displaying the file size, its quality, automatic activation of the button for downloading.

This add-on successfully extracts flash video, audio played online (in frames, web players). Recognizes over two hundred sites. But its creators assure that this figure is not the limit.

It is endowed with additional functional "chips": management of "hot" keys, assigning a folder for downloaded files, a search option, simultaneous loading of several tracks, videos from the current web page, displaying all available quality formats of the requested content.

This addon can be safely called a "vacuum cleaner". It "pulls" everything and everyone - music, video - from the depths of the servers.

It has a unique property - it is able to transfer the received link for downloading to an external "rocking" program installed in the OS. It also allows you to configure filtering by extensions (which files need to be downloaded and which not).

Analogs can be found on the official Firefox web portal. In any case, the "rocking" for media content in the browser will never be superfluous.
