FWIW, out of security considerations I run FF in a chroot jail with as
little "other stuff" in the jail as possible

So using an extension called "unplug"
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2254> I can locate
embedded media and download the link or the file itself. I then play the
download on 32bit using mplayer (in its own jail).

64bit Linux, AFAICT, does not yet play .mov files, so I'm presently
using QTalternative in wine 'til mplayer, xine, or vlc works on 64bit.

HTH
