I am trying to download a movie file but it is not working. Instead of of downloading it just keeps playing in a window with a quicktime extension. How do I download the movie clip? I know it can been done because in internet explorer you can just right click and save target as. I dont know how to do this with firefox.

it works the same way as internet explorer, just right-click and click Save Link As... and then choose where to save it.
