CaptureFox add-on lets you easily create screencasts from within Firefox

CaptureFOX is a pretty sweet Windows-only screen recorder add-on for Firefox. It's not perfect; the biggest drawback, in my mind at least, is that you can record video in up to 5fps.

I usually use Camtasia, which is pretty nice but also very expensive (in the hundreds of dollars). This free solution doesn't have all of Camtasia's bells and whistles (well, it doesn't have any of them, to be honest), but it's definitely useful for quick, on-the-spot recording.

You can record the browser area or a part of it, but you can also record the whole screen -- it will pick up any other program which you put onscreen while recording. There's a nice little recording time counter on the status bar, and you can easily set the output format (MJPEG/XVID, and WAV/MP3). You can also set it to automatically minimize Firefox when it starts recording, if you explicitly want to use it for recording your work with other programs.
