    For Vista:

    If you used firefox to download the wallpaper, it will be stored in:
    C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

    If you used IE to download the wallpaper, it will be stored in:
    C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

    For vista, a much quicker way is to press winkey+r, and type in %appdata%. Then go to your Mozilla folder from there.
