Save Flash from Firefox
Published Wednesday, October 19th, 2005 at 8:32 pm
The other day I posted an article on how to place a flash file for display on your desktop. I mention a couple of methods for saving the flash file to your hard drive. Both methods involve examining the source code to get the flash file URL. Turns out there is a much easier way in Firefox. I’ll leave the details to the source but basically, you can view a list of all media on the page, including flash files, from the “View Page Info” menu. Once you find the appropriate item in the media list there is a “Save As…” button that allows you to easily store the file to your HD. Very nice stuff.

Nope; it turns out that there’s no “View Page Info” menu on the Mac Firefox, sigh…

Omni,
There is for me. You just control-click on the page, and in the context menu, there’s View Page Info, right below View Page Source.
