looking for simple video capture for MFC (Linux Mint)

I just spent an hour scanning through the long thread on screen capture software for myfreecams. It seems to be focused on solutions that support automated capture of multiple streams. Clearly above my pay grade.

My needs are more modest... I'm looking for a simple Linux-compatible program that can capture an individual MFC stream while the FF browser window is open. There were a few mentions in the MFC thread of basic browser video capture software, but the ones I checked don't run in Linux.

Since I'm new to Linux, my skills in command line installation is pretty limited. A Firefox add-on would be ideal, but I'm willing to learn how to use the command line, if necessary. I have to learn sooner or later anyway :eek:
