No. Have you searched the fora at mozillazine.org?

Dunno where Firefox place the files... can search later. But if you go to the site with the flash content probably you can search the HTML source and find the links to *.swf files or make save of the page on some local dir and search for flash files in the directory with the files that belong to the saved web page.
*A bit later* ... no way to open it so easy. Firefox's cache is seemly on
[local disk]/Documents and Settings/[name of windows profile]/Application data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[your firefox profile]/Cache/
and consist of many segment files but not explicit of the files you need.

Saving the webpage as you say GFree does not save the .swf file.
...
Got it. Did as you said GFree and looked for the filename in the HTML source. Downloaded the file with Download Accellerator Plus.
Only now i need the Flash Player.

Doesn't your browser act as one? Try to open it with Firefox.

Try
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\some garbage.default\Cache

if you want the swf, the easiest way is typically by looking at the source code of the page. Covered earlier, but to help you along, swf files are always embedded in object tags. Once you find the object tag, you should be able to find the path/name of the file.
What I typically do is just build a really simple html page locally with a link to the file I want to acquire. like:
then open the page in firefox, right click link and save as. Typically easier than finding it in cache.
*edit* well, shit, I think I just found a phpbb flaw.

Appendix: Some sites does the link spoofing, generating the page wholy or partially via javascript. In that case try to save the web page localy (Firefox, I mean, for the other I am not sure) and search the saved source for *.swf links - in most of cases, that is the way to unfurl the spoofed HTML source.
