HOW TO SAVE SWF FILES FROM MOZILLA FIREFOX

For so many months I wasn't able to save some cute swf files from my Mozilla FireFox. I could save it easily from Tools -> Page Info earlier, but due to some unknow reasons I was unable to save that method. I got that golden days back again with the help or the following site:

Their method is simple very simple to geeks and Power Users. Just have a look:

a. Type about:blank in the Firefox address bar
b. Now click List cache entries or directly type about:cache?device=disk (Disk cache device)
c. Press Ctrl+F and try to location the flash file by typing some part of website URL or the flash file name or just .swf. After some hit and trial, you should be able to locate the swf file URL
d. Click the SWF URL to open the Cache Entry Information page. Right click on the link and choose "Save link as"
