FireFox question

[CyberDyneSystems]

Anyone know how to tell Firefox where to store the Cache?

It does not seem to have an option for this basic control. :(

Do I really need to hack the registry for this?

Not running FireFox, just Moz 1.7.x, but isn't it under Edit | Preferences | Advanced?

Thanks Jon.. but alas.. no

In fact,.. there is no "Edit" "Preferences" :)

There is "Tools" "options" "privacy" "Cache"

Unfortunately in the "cache" settings.. all you can do is tell it how much in KB... and hit a "clear" button. There is no dialogue for location :(

Bummer. I think I have (an earlier version of) Firefox on a box at home. I'll check there when I get a chance.

On the page:
http://texturizer.net/firefox/tips.html#oth_cache

it says you need to add a little bit of code to your user.js file...

// Path to Cache folder:
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory","C:\\Path To Cache");

I have no idea if it works or not... I don't use FireFox. (yet)

Do a search for a file named "_CACHE_MAP_" under your "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\blah\blah"

You may have more than one _CACHE_MAP_ - just check for the most recent.

Mine is "C:\Documents and Settings\scott\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.swn\Cache>"
