Firefox doesn't have an activity window with CTRL-J
kevinn is right there's no activity window in Firefox I think firebug's Net console could help but it's not what everyone would use
Firefox should have the Download Activity window by default with shortcut CMD-J. If you access it from menubar, it will be Tools → Downloads.
For Firefox, I wouldn't worry about Activity window. Just get the Video Download Helper add-on and you're good to go. Right-click over the video and then download!
