Firefox cache i mean.. where? by paperless on 01-13-2005 at 06:24 PM

Anyone here knows where is the folder that firefox saves it's cache? i wanna go there to export some things that cant be directly saved from the page..

Yeah, I was going to tell you the cache files aren't like IE's when I entered this thread, guess I was too late. :P.

Although the flash files you can get just by viewing the page's source and finding the <embed> tag.

Does it even "encrypt" the extension? Opera doesn't, so I just apply a filter for the extension I want, and sort by last modified. :p

They're a bunch of random filenames with no extension.

im not sure about the latest version of firefox, but i used to use mozilla before it was popular, a long time ago. And there was a Media tab, in the properties i think. Which listed all the media in a page, i.e. images, sounds, videos etc... and you could save them easily.
