Where does Firefox store temporary files? IE calls them "Temporary Internat Files". Old versions of Netscape called it the "Cache".

I want to examine some cached files, but I can't figure out where Firefox stores them.

C:\Documents and Settings/<user name>/Local settings (language sensitive)/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<random numbers here>.default/Cache

In Linux, it's in ~/.mozilla.

Firefox calls it cache too. On the version I'm using, just hold down Ctrl+Shift+Delete to bring up the erase thing. Or you can go through the tools menu. I think you have to go into Tools>Options on older versions of FF.

I don't want to erase it. I want to get some of the files that are in there.

~ means home directory
/ separates directories from their children
. is put at the start of files that contain configuration type stuff

The term "children" really is used in tree structures, it's not just me.

However, I ought to have said "it is used to denote that the file after the slash is a child of the directory before the slash".

Aww, what a letdown. :( I liked it much better when I thought it was just a cool way to explain stuff to the idiot masses. Like me.
