Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I get an error when I try to download Facebook video from mobile, example: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157418079736840&id=21785951839

But it works when I user desktop link: https://www.facebook.com/9gag/videos/10157418079736840/

I think it's due to the redirection. any solution?

Put " around your link, then it works, because the URL contains a '&'. Like so: youtube-dl "https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157418079736840&id=21785951839"
