I can not "save as source" an MP4 object web page in Firefox 6 for MAC

I download MP4 music from VIMEO. When I click the link on their website to download the video it downloads and opens in a firefox webpage. I used to be able to Control click on the open VIMEO webpage window on my MAC and then I could choose "Save as Source" and the video would then save on my desktop as an MP4 file. Now with Foxfire 6.0 when I try to Control click in the window nothing happens. I do not get the little dialog box that allows me to access the Save as Source command.

If you have a two button mouse then try to right-click the link to open the right-click context menu.

I have a MacBook and only have a single button mouse. Usually just doing a Control Click with the Mac mouse does the same thing as a right click. It always worked in the past. I do not understand why it is now all of a sudden not working.

Tried this and still no context menu.

I am in the airport in Hong Kong right now and the Internet is very slow. I do not have time to download a full video, but I did start to access one and used the download helper add on and it appeared to be working. I will post the full result when I get home. At this point it appears to be a solution.
