FireWire is typically used for digital video systems (DV) to connect the camera to a computer. It's high speed allows rapid download of DV to a host system. It's also used for external harddisks, scanners, and can be used to connect two computers together.
You can use gscanbus to see what is plugged into your FireWire port.

+If you are trying to use a FireWire device with your applications remember to set the right permissions on /dev/video1394 and /dev/raw1394 and check that they exist with those names and not similar (I had to symlink to create one). If you don't do this GnomeMeeting won't work but doesn't give error messages either....
