Capture Fox – Firefox add-on for Screencasting
Today I’m playing with Capture Fox, another screencasting tool. This one is a free add-on for Firefox. Like Screen Toaster, it’s very intuitive and has just a few simple settings.
Some features:
- Records the action from your Firefox screen only or from your whole desktop.

- Option to record in Low, Medium or High quality video.
- Saves video to your hard drive as an .avi file. Files can easily be edited with MS MovieMaker or other video editing software. (more…)
