Open Arctic Fox. Click Tools > Add-ons. This will open the Add-ons Manager.
Click on "Extensions". Make sure you see "Greasemonkey".
Click on "Plugins". Make sure you see "VLC Web Plugin" and it is set to "Always Activate".
Click on "User Scripts". My guess is that you do not have "ViewTube" and "ViewTube+" installed.
If you do not see ViewTube and ViewTube+ under User Scripts, go to http://sebaro.pro/viewtube/.
On the top of the page you will see download icons for both of these user scripts. When you click on them it should bring up a dialog where you can click Install. Do that for both ViewTube and ViewTube+.
Let me know if you have any issues.
Thanks, got the scripts installed! Now I can see in Youtube the 'Get' botton... But clicking it did not download the video directly, but there appeared another button beside it, and clicking that run the video in a new window, and clicking that with the right mouse button showed a menu which had the option "Save to disk...". Is all that the 'normal' way to do it, or is there still an issue...?

Installed and tested! There is still some issue with Livestream videos... With the 12.9.13 I was able to see videos from the National broadcast company, but no sound. When trying the same with 12.9.14 the browser just closes itself, no error messages. The same happens even with the home page of that company...
Ubuntu 16.04.5 and Arctic Fox 12.9.14 (Christian's package) do not have that issue, it is only with Fienix.

Opening a Livestream doesn't close the browser for me, but I cannot hear audio. Interesting you can hear audio when running on Ubuntu...
Christian, any ideas about this?

It's the same with Fienix on my AmigaOne X1000. Opening a livestream doesn't close Arctic Fox but I cannot hear audio either. The livestream works with audio on ubuntu MATE 16.04.5 LTS PowerPC. I tested it with the livestream by DW-TV (https://www.dw.com/de/media-center/live ... ?channel=1). Unfortunately I don't know why the audio of the livestream doesn't work on Fienix.

I found out that the problem of livestream (or even the home page of the National broadcast company) closing Arctic Fox is NOT Fienix specific but it depends on how the 'Preferences/Content/Load Images:' has been set. If it is set to 'Automatically' or 'Originating server only' the problems exists. If it is set to 'Never', videos or the home page do not close Arctic Fox. Here is the link to the company's home page: http://areena.yle.fi/tv . Does it behave the same way in your machine, if you test the different 'Load images:' settings?
Visiting that site closes Arctic Fox for me as well. Error: "/usr/bin/arcticfox: line 3: 12943 Segmentation fault ./arcticfox"
Arctic Fox does not close if "Load Images: Never", but the video does not load either. Does the video load for you if you set "Load Images: Never"? This makes me think that maybe the problem is with how Arctic Fox tries to handle that media type.
I also tried to disable Greasemonkey to make sure that extension wasn't causing the issue, but it makes no difference.
Just to clarify, does Arctic Fox close if visiting that site on Ubuntu?

At least last time I tested with a direct link to a video it loaded when "Load images:" was 'Never'. The only problem was the missing sound...

Yes, when the image loading is enabled. Have not been able to test with Fedora27 as there videos do not work at all. Maybe an altivec dependency problem, or missing codecs...
