They are now stored in your browser's cache thus not being easily accessible anymore.

This is most lost likely meant as a a security enhancement. Others on the system cannot easily see what you are watching anymore.

If you want to download use a browser extension like "DownloadHelper" for firefox or some command line tool as get_flash_videos from the AUR (or better yet the git version of it).

Post #14: Just incase anyone is interested flash now stores the cache in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/Cache instead of /tmp

Why not explicitly download the videos instead of fishing them out of /temp or whatever?
BTW, there's a 64-bit flash again: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32072
