I watch a lot of videos/movies online such as TV Shows on those streaming sites that our lovely Government has shut down. Question, is it true when the video loads it downloads to your PC? If so, can I stop that using Firefox?

No I mean like if I'm watching a movie online, it has to load the movie to get it to play, while it's loading, is it DOWNLOADING to my PC?
