Is it possible? Yes, absolutely.
You can find hundreds of softwares on the internet that will help you download videos from a variety of websites. Softwares like Youtube Downloader, Internet Download Manager and Orbit Downloader can be found for free just by searching them on Google.
But the disadvantages about using these softwares are that they don’t support ALL the websites that you can find on the internet. Secondly, you’ll have to download and install them on your hard disk in order to use it. Furthermore, options are limited.
There is a Firefox Add-On known as “DownloadHelper.” With this, you can, download videos, audios and also pictures from ANY website in the world, with just ONE click, without any softwares.
In addition to that, as amazing as it might sound, you can "Download & Convert" a video or audio to any format of your choice and also share it on your social network directly. You can even download it as a hidden file and you can send it directly to your mobile phone or your locker.
All these can be done on ANY website, let it be Facebook, Google, YouTube, twitter, Orkut or a unknown local site, without downloading and installing any software.
It’s also very VERY easy to use. No downloads required, no installations required. Just ONE click to get your favorite movie or song. It works for ALL websites. And yeah, it’s totally free.
Here's how to use DownloadHelper:

Note: Only Mozilla Firefox supports DownloadHelper.
I just wanted to add that I am NOT working for Mozilla in any way nor am I earning by directing people to visit their website or to convince others to download any of their products\add-ons or to for promoting. It's just pure information that I'm sharing with people who are in need of such type of knowledge.
