that interesting insight, i just added file system support to my internal tool, i thought this was not possible in firefox but the workaround you mentioned works. thanks

by any chance anyone knows if users clicks can be captured for a website/tab/iframe for screen recording. i know i can record screen but i am wondering if this metadata can be collected.

If you mean capturing click metadata (coordinates, timestamps, target elements) rather than actual pixel recording - yes, that's what tools like Hotjar/FullStory do. They record DOM mutations + interaction events and replay them.

For your own implementation, document-level event listeners work, though cross-origin iframes are off-limits due to same-origin policy.
