I am running on Firefox 38.0.1 and windows 7. I want to record live streaming video (online) to my computer. I thought some add-on could do it but there isn't any! All the add-ons are for downloading online videos but not record (download) LIVE streaming videos (from online). Maybe I can install a video tuner and just record my monitor screen? Is there a video tuner that can do this? I want to record a cooking show (Live streaming) so I can watch it some other time. By the time the show starts, I am still on my way home. So I would like to just leave the computer on at home, set it up, and it will just record it when the time comes. Thanks.

No, it doesn't work. Besides, it can't schedule a download. I guess I do need a video tuner to just schedule/record the screen now. Do you guys have any suggestions?
