Re: How do you get iceweasel (or another browser) to save what otherwise the flashplayer plays?
May I suggest a firefox addon called Downloadhelper. I believe it is capable of saving flv (flash video) files to your drive. Just go check out https://addons.mozilla.org and you should be able to find it there.

The sites usually detect you are trying to save a copy and won't proceed. Try putting a man in the middle (WWWOFFLE). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
