Another Firefox question

[TheForce]

In IE, if I want to download a media file to my hard drive from a known link, I right click on the link and "Save Target As" to accomplish the task. If it is an image link, the right click drop menu lists "Save Image as"

Now I use Firefox and this feature is not available. Is there a similar way to save a downloaded linked media file to my hard drive?

Right click, "Save link as" or "save image as" if download is permitted.

save link as does not work. It only saves a link, not the file itself. Save image works for jpg files but not videos.

It depends on the link. Most flash video is not downloadable without some type of
addon. Try this link: http://www.ncsu.edu/univ_relations/video/Provost.wmv
Right click and save link.

Do you know of an add-on that works well for flash video?
