Fireefox Qs

Recommended Posts

In IE if i watch an AVI or other motion image online I can go to the options in IE and view the file and copy it.
How do I do that in Firefox??

Much the same, IIRC... File/Save as


No Mike you can't do that with many browser run movies, you need to (in IE) go to Options then you go to view files in the cache and then copy from there. I cant find how to do that in Firefox

Never tried that before you asked. Would this work for you:

* go to the page with the avi on it
* select Tools -> Page Info
* select the Media tab
* scroll to find the movie
* click Save As...

I haven't looked to see where FireFox stores the cache.

edit to add: Found the cache! type about:cache into the address bar

Firefox will save downloads to whereever you specify. It also has a neat little download manager that allows you to open the program right from the manager. Firefox rocks. Now if I could just install it at my work computer.



I already have, and I am using Thunderbird too! They are both excellent ! I have IE and Outlook shrunk down and buried so deep on my computer I hope that I never find them again :P
Pete Draper,

Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
