i don't understand, is this the wallpaper you want ?
your wallpaper is somewhere on your pc.
if you go to "DESKTOP" tab in Display properties.
it will list all the wallpapers you recently used
from there you'll see the filename and you can search for it

And if it's not listed there(sometimes, it's not listed for me), then use Search and in the filename, type "*.jpg" without the quotes.
It will list many files. Switch to "Thumbnail" view and find the location of the file.

i think it saves it on your hard drive even if you just applied the wallpaper from online, it has to be somewhere, did you do the search like Adarsh mentioned ?

this was a good lesson for you to activate that service... why would you cancel it??? OMG it doesnt take hundreds of GB on your HDD or 100MB ram.
and windows washer doesnt do very much...
if you want a good clean and fast computer
install xp
then a antivirus/antispyware
after several months remove the unnecessary programs/do a disk cleanup
and a check disk
then install a registry cleaner(registry mechanic is a good one)
clean your registry, and remove that program from your computer

done.
do this every 3 month or so
you dont need those extra softwares. they dont do much!

people do it everyday to keep there PC clean and not get tracking cookies and other nasties.
 
It's in the Temp files. Unfortunately for you I'm too lazy to tell you how to get there ( find on Google ) I can only promise it's a hidden folder in a hidden folder :D and Firefox and washer shouldn't be able to delete it.

good suggestion - although I think that the wallpapers are saved as a bitmap so OP you might want to try *.bmp also.

best of luck
