OT : maybe that's true in Galeon, but I don't see such an option in
Mozilla (i'm using 1.2 alpha). Would be nice if there was one. 

My solution for watching movies from web was to konfigure the KDE's
Klipper to open https?://.*\.(avi|asx|wmv|...)  URLs using "mplayer -cache
1500 %u" and I use "Copy Link Location" in Mozilla or Konq which
automatically invokes Klipper's menu.
