YES - to my huge surprise this script works even on my old machine and old browser!!
Have posted a screenshot in that topic over there.

I didn't change anything but after a reboot I now get the download button and the file dialog
I click on that but only a new blank browser page appears with a very long url in address bar.
I tried again with fresh version of Goanna 76 to eliminate any of my configs with the same result.
That looks like it could be the download link, except that the browser wants to open it itself, thinking wrongly it can play it, instead of offering to download?
No idea how to fix such complicated things, but perhaps there are other workarounds?
Theory-1: what if you simply try to SAVE that empty looking page? Does it download a big file? If yes, rename it to mp4. Although, when *I* click your link, yt reports "forbidden". It could still work for you at the moment when it's created.
Or block HTML5. That has been mentioned a couple times in other posts, and I didn't get it until now - this is just to declare "I cannot play this" and THEN it offers to download?
Wondering if toggling a single pref might already be enough, just test:
permissions.default.media = 2 (INT)
If you don't see it on about:config, right-click and create it (or use one of my macros, like priv3buttons or permdefs)
