Capture Fox is a nice little add-on that turns your Firefox browser into a one-click screen video recorder. The extension is available for Windows XP as well Vista.
Capture Fox can record all your activity inside a Firefox window or even the entire desktop screen and will save it as a video file. The program can also capture audio from your microphone.
Record Firefox Screen as a Video file
After installing Capture Fox, you’ll find a button in the Firefox status bar that serves both as the Start and Stop button. And while the recording session is on, you can check the duration of the screencast from the status bar itself.
While this is no replacement of Camtasia or other standalone screen recorders, it is still a good option for recording quick videos of your Firefox screen without firing an external program.

Thanks Amit for the info. Had been trying out Cam Studio for a while. But this integrated addon should be much more handy to use.

I can’t get the videos to play in Quicktime or Windows Media Player. What software did you use to view the AVI files?

Does not seem to capture screen shot beyond 40 seconds. After 40 seconds only audio is there and no video is there!
