Screen Recorder - Firefox Add-on for Quick Screen Recording

"Screen Recorder" is a Firefox add-on that lets you record videos straight from your computer's screen. The recording process is initiated by a single click from the toolbar button. Users have the flexibility to select their video source, be it their screen, a window, or a tab. The video is automatically downloaded to your computer in a default WebM format. For different video format, external software may be required. Please note, the current version doesn't support audio recording.
