Indulal,

I'm going to make the assumption you are referring to Flash video files. For other types of video files this may not apply.

When you watch a Flash video, it is temporarily downloaded to the /tmp folder with a name like FlashrqaiSV (this was from a YouTube video I was watching).

But when you start another video, or close Firefox the file is deleted.

So, I don't believe it is possible to surf though your previously viewed flash videos as you can with other web content.

Best of luck,
George
