In fact, there already an addon for NicoVideo
(NicoFox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8888/)
But if you don't know how to use it, you can try this alternative method.
Before start, you need to install Firebug
(https://addons.mozilla.org/services/install.php?addon_id=1843&src=external-getfirebug)
- Go to the video page, I use http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm13118412 as example.
- Open Firebug and switch to the "Net" tab, arrange the order in descending of size. The biggest is the target file.
- Right click and Copy the Location. Paste the url in the location bar.
- Save the file in the place you like. Finished !!
