Megavideo Time Limit Bypass
For the uninitiated, Megavideo is an online video portal with
millions of videos, documentaries, TV shows and movies, but comes with
an irritating 72 minutes (or 61 minutes now?) time limit after which the
user is given an option to wait for 50+ minutes to continue watching or
purchase a premium account which gets rid of this wait.

are for Firefox only.
