how to setup firefox to play training videos from my hard drive

more options

I have never watched videos, period. I recently purchased some training videos, they are supposed to work in any browser. They are SWF videos, I can play them on my SWF player.

They have a menu system when using browser that allows you to go from 1 video to another, or to a specif portion of any video.

My first guess would be to do it off line, but I have about 30 tabbed web pages open all the time. I am also using Oracle VM, have 32 bit VISTA, and 32bit ubuntu setup on it. I use firefox in Vista as IE8 crashes all the time. So I have many options on how to do this if I knew how!!
