How to Save an SWF in Firefox
Firefox is an open source Web browser developed by Mozilla. The browser is built on an extensible framework, allowing you to add functionality not found in the default installation of the browser in the form of Firefox add-ons. There are numerous Firefox add-ons that enable you to save ShockWave Flash (SWF) files to your local computer. Firefox also features an element inspector that can be used to locate and download SWF files directly from a Web page.
