Hi,

thanks for taking time to report a problem!

I was able to reproduce this behavior with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 ID:20140409030203 CSet: 5811efc11011 on Debian Sid with Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202. I'm not sure if this is done by design or not, though.

My about:preferences Application tab correctly associate the swf format with Shockwave Flash plugin.
If that can be of use, Chromium Version 33.0.1750.152 Debian jessie/sid (256984) as well cannot open a swf local file in-browser without asking first for the application to use.

Also: Firefox does open directly without asking local video files of other formats, for instance .webm
