Hi , I am developing a mozilla addon and I need to record a tab actions as a video and store it in local like ScreenCastify extension do in Google Chrome. I came across many addons like iMacros in mozilla firefox , which records the user actions like click events , keypress and saves that. While we attempt to replay it , the addon executes a script which performs the recorded events. This doesn't run when my computer is offline. Please suggest me a solution.

P.S I don't want to record as events , I would like to record as a video, so that I could use it.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

There are screen recording software's available as well.

There are lot of stuff there , but nothing chooses my criteria. All the recording stuff there , could record the events and run it as a script in the corresponding page , but they don't record as a video for future purposes. And I need to record my browser page only through extension , I cant force everyone who install my addon to install the screen recording software.

Please correct me , If I am wrong

@FrefMCD As I already said , I don't need screen recording software. I just want to record my firefox browser tab alone through extension. Is there a way to do that? Does addon-sdk or firefox browser support that? Also canvas recording is not supported in firefox
