Where does Firefox store streamed files?

| I want to store a video that I watched on Firefox (1.5.0.8) but don't know
where to find it. Is it stored on a temp folder somewhere? I have searched for
the file while Firefox is still open, after the video has run (with the last
frame still visible. I believe the particular video that I want to save is in
Shockwave Flash format.
Any ideas?

There are two ways. The first is View, Page Info [or it could be under
Tools]. Click on the Media tab and look for the swf file there, then
click on Save As.
If that doesn't work, which sometimes it doesn't if you're using
something like YouTube, then in the address bar type in
about :cache?device=disk. In the first couple of lines will tell you
the cache location. Then look for the line that contains your swf
file. Look at the size of that file. Now, using your file manager,
locate your cache and locate a file about that size. Copy that file to
someplace else then add the extension swf. If its from a place like
YouTube, then you need to save with the extension as flv.
