FlashVideoReplacer is a Firefox extension designed to allow you to watch Flash streaming content with a less CPU intensive plugin.
There is no need to install a standalone player or download the videos, since the replacement is done on the web page, after it loads. You will watch the videos embedded as they should be. Nevertheless, you will need a Quicktime or Windows Media Player compatible plugin.
FlashVideoReplacer also offers other replacing methods, that allow to open the videos on a new tab, a new window or a standalone external video player. Support for all these methods depends on plugin and player compatibility, which varies from one operating system to another. Video download is also available via context menu.
