Force firefox to download the video

I need to provide a download link to the user to download a video. When I visit the link using firefox, it starts playing instead of downloading.

How can I force firefox to download it?

You have to set some HTTP headers. Example in PHP:

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . urlencode($file));    
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
