I'm Dog-sitting for my sister's family whilst they visit the 'in-laws',
so I intend giving their Internet a pounding!!
First action is to download a video from youtube.com but, looking at
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/extensions/ there is no
Video downloader, or am I not looking right?? (reasonable as why would
TB [an e-mail agent] need a video downloader??)
Or do I need to go back to the FireFox site??
Your distro should provide youtube-dl. Install it.
Or .....??

Open a xterm. Make a directory and change into that. E.g. 'mkdir
tmp-down' and 'cd tmp-down'. Type youtube-dl followed by the above link.
Don't forget the 'Enter'. :)
That's all. I've just downloaded the file using youtube-dl in version
2019.11.28.

Thank you, Hartmut. ;-)
I opened my Mageia Control Centre, went to Software Management and
entered youtube-dl, and the Search results showed (none).
And I was sure that I had had 'youtube-dl in a past incarnation of my
Profile. Why did I delete that Profile??
So then ..... (Watch for the line wrap!!)
$ su
entered Password
[root@localhost daniel]# sudo curl -l
https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
That showed me ...

Then
[root@localhost]# sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
chmod: cannot access '/usr/local/youtube-dl': No such file or directory
So then I tried ]# sudo curl -L
https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
That produced an output file of four lines

Does the fact that I did things as 'su' but used 'sudo' in the command
lines affect anything??
If not, what have I done wrong??
Can I have a go at solving my own problem??
After typing my above response, just for kicks and never having used
'xterm' before, just for the heck of it, I opened a Terminal, went SU
with Password, copied the sudo curl -l line
100 3 100 3 0 0 1 0 0:00:03 0:00:02 0:00:01
1
[root@localhost daniel]# sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
[root@localhost daniel]#
so I'm hoping that means I now have youtube-dl installed. Now to find
out how to employ it!! Add it as an extension to my SeaMonkey, I guess! ;-)
Stand by!!
