Create a bookmark (bookmark toolbar menu in Firefox is a very convenient place to put it) and paste this script in for the URL.

javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt='+(isHDAvailable?'22':'18')+'&video_id='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']}

Then when you're on the page of the YouTube video just click the bookmark and it will start the download (will grab the highest quality version available).
 
Yeah I didn't think about that, you could also grab it from your browser's cache (in Firefox it's about:cache, don't know how to access it in other browsers though).

Neat trick, does that just give you the .swf file?

Neat trick! But does that only give you the .swf file?
