If you're using Firefox in OS X and watch a video on YouTube, is the video saved in a temporary folder somewhere? Where can it be found?

On my system, it doesn't look like any .flv
files get stored. Some Flash temporary files are stored in
/private/var/folders/<randomname>/<YArandomname>/TemporaryItems/
,
but these files are deleted when the youtube pane is closed.
To find out where files are being stored on your system, I recommend fseventer. As I have recommended it twice in 5 minutes, it might be appropiate to mantion that I'm not affiliated with fernlightning ;-)
If you want to save youtube videos, try out DownloadHelper.
