Unplug for Firefox

Unplug is a Firefox add-on that is very similar to the Download Helper extension that I have been writing about before on this website. It scans a website for video, audio and other multimedia content and provides direct download links to those files. Many users that I know use Unplug to download flash games from websites to be able to play them offline.

The process is as simple as it can be. Download and install the extension and restart Firefox afterwards. Now right-click the top toolbar in a free space and select customize from the menu. You have to locate the Unplug icon and drag and drop it into the toolbar. If you do not want to do this you can access Unplug from the Tools menu as well.

Unplug opens a new page listing all media files. Sometimes more than one file is listed on that page but it is normally quite easy to find the real one. Once that is done just click on save to save the file locally. This can be used on many games sites and I suspect also on video and audio websites.
