Could you copy some other random file the same way and see where it saves files by default?
Firefox will show downloaded files by using the "Tools->Downloads" menu command. You can right click on the downloaded item and select "Open Containing Folder" to open the location where the file is saved. I'm not sure if this will be cleared with the private data, I'm guessing probably.
Vortex, what browser are you using?

It's been a while, so it's not there.
One way to start would be to search for a file name of *.jpg. You'll get a lot of results, obviously, but you may recognize a name pretty quickly.
I have a crapload of JPGs, and I know that this file has some random name.
What if you searched for *.jpg and then sorted the results by date?
Or search and then display the results as thumbnails.

I tried that, i can't find it. Maybe it was a freaking .tif or something. ARGH. Okay, more annoying than problematic. Thanks for the suggestions.
On my work XP machine, Mozilla's graphics cache is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\tomsusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.m13\Cache
The files are all without any extension. If I open them with Mozilla I can see the images.
How about going through your browser history and seeing if you can download it again, or figure out the filename?
I clear the history every time I close the program. Although I do actual work on the computer, I don't want someone at work accidentally finding the Buffistas :)
I'm going through hidden files now. I was hoping that there was an easier way, that they'd all be in one folder. Thanks for the advice.
Aargh! I broke my U3 flash drive's software. I must have yanked it out before it was completely done ejecting, and not only does it not autostart anymore, I can't even manually run U3.exe to get to the password prompt.
Any ideas? I don't want to crack it, just to recover and get U3 running again.
eta: Never mind. There was a newer version of U3 and upgrading it got me back into the drive.
