    You can find the link using the console. Open it with the right click -> examine element -> terminal (or console, don't know how it is in english), and just do like you had done in your gif.

    Here is your link : https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-data/user-themegnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com.v38.shell-extension.zip

    and screenshot of Firefox terminal for this link :

    enter image description here

    so your wget command would be :

    wget https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-data/user-themegnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com.v38.shell-extension.zip
