First some details of which os you are using win xp or vista or is it a mac.
Is it a film type dvd, commercial or otherwise as win xp doesn't cope with copying dvds in the same way as you would copy files onto a cd. If it was commercial you'd need to use a decrypter (try dvd decrypter) then a burning prog such as imgburn or nero. If not you'd still need to use nero or similar.
Is it a data disc, word proc. files, photos, mp3 music etc, again you'd need to use nero or imgburn if on win xp.

Thanks ,
Firefox is your web browser and doesn't have any bearing on how you copy a dvd.

If you read through this article

Some later dvds have css encryption that can only be bypassed using dvd decrypter. Look here for info and download advice. Check out the guides bit first and got to ripping.
