Default Firefox: how can I see the little box with out the trash?

Hi All,

Now this is annoying. Is there an add-on or
other way that will allow me to see just the game
and not the graphics trash on the sides?


Many thanks,

I'm the last person to ask how to do this, as I don't
have a "large collection of downloaders". However, a
previous Linux experiment, just to see how it works,
shows how you can get the content, so you can work on it.

Basically, this package is updated daily (to counter the
latest counter-measures). You can certainly install the
package from your Package Manager, but then it's a good idea
to update the software directly from the developer site. There
may be an update feature in the software somewhere, to ensure
you get it.

The stuff in the next section, shows typical technique. You
first ask what formats the vid is available in. Then select
a high quality one. Then request that specific format with
the downloader. Two commands total. Then sit back... and wait.

I think you've probably already downloaded your share of
vids, and so your question was just rhetorical. You'll never
get rid of junk on sites like this, like the pop-in-front
adverts every ten minutes and so on. So while that pattern
on the periphery of the video is bad, the pop-in-front is
much worse.

Once you've received the video, take it into your favorite
video editor, apply a crop box around the "good part" and
toss that acid-trip crap on the edges to NUL (we are on a
Windows group after all).
