It is unlikely that you (or anyone else) has a cable with
USB on one end and Firewire on the other end. Since
Firewire and USB are very different kinds of interfaces,
it is not possible to connect one to the other using a
simple cable.

You likely have a cable that has "regular" USB on one
end, and a special miniature USB on the other end.
Many cameras (both video and still) come with special
USB cables because they use "unconventional" USB
connectors on the camera side.
