There is no options within the content tab of tools&gt;options&gt;content. Even though your advice was not helpful to me in any way I still thank you for trying to help resolve this matter.
</p><p>@ cor-el, I have just managed to find the mimeTypes.rdf file took me a few hours as it was not where those links said it would be. For my system it was C:/users/username/appdata(hidden folder)/local/mozilla Sadly the links said it's be %APPDATA%\mozilla\ upon which is an invalid address on my windows 7 system. Not sure why it's different but I found it. I am hoping now that I located the file that your advice fixes the problem.
</p><p>Edit 1: cor-el upon restarted after removing the file you mentioned did in fact reset everything. All of my flashes are asking what I want them to open with once more. Upon opening them on Firefox I can see them instead of the open with or save as options. So your advice did indeed work. Thank you.

</p><p>If your settings for SWF files are set correctly in your options, then it is probably the swf files:

<p>Some swf files probably have checks to make sure that they are run on the correct website, etc. and if they are not, then some other event, such as the one you are facing, happens in order to protect them from being run in scenarios they weren't intended to by the author.
