the add-on delance is referring to is video downloadhelper.
@delance
the author changed it so it saves using the filename of the video now instead of random characters.

All that having been said, where does the ubuntu/lubuntu currently store the flash video? I paused a downloading video and typed updatedb then locate flash, but it didn't turn up.

Can you help with this problem?
