I have an extremely slow rural DSL connection,
so all video is choppy and unviewable, even on
a fast Mac.

I was trying to watch the keynote video, with no luck.

Even tried selecting the various "download" options,
but do not know enough to get them to work, or if
it is even possible to download a video to my hard drive,
for later playback.

And exactly what prevents you from obtaining Firefox?

I will try again. I opened some pretty big video clips,
dozens of files were listed, but they were all KB sized files,
nothing listed in MB.

I am running a 2-year old Intel MacBook Pro.

I tried double-clicking on some of the bigger KB sized files,
but nothing appeared in my downloads folder.

I must be doing something wrong, I will keep track of exactly
what I am doing, then report back here.

Wow, that is one of the best Safari tips I have seen in a long time.
THANKS!
