Googling Download Facebook Videos brings up several suggestions ranging from on-line downloaders to browser extensions. I don't know if any of them work - I don't use Facebook. But when I've tried to download other stuff from other places I've usually found at least one of 'em does the job. Just be wary of drive-by downloads and other unwanted nasties - they tend to lurk around this sort of site.

Video DownloadHelper for Firefox might do the trick.

Go to the mobile facebook site: m.facebook.com in your browser

From there you can right-click and save the video.

Right click on the video and select "Copy video URL" (or similar, I'm with Chrome). A new window will open with the web link. Select it, right click, and select Copy.
