384088 2005-08-27 07:22:00 Eh? I expect it gets shunted around all over the place as it gets written to and cleared and rewritten. Not really sure what you mean. Maybe you're thinking Tools / Options / Privacy. HTH........m mark c (247)
384089 2005-08-27 07:24:00 You should find it located at C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.e0b\Cache

Username will of course be your Windows user account login.

384093 2005-08-27 09:13:00 yeah, it shows them all without their extensions, the trick is to look at the url of what u are looking for and then right click and select open with, and open with the program that fits it. For example just the other day i was after music that was stored in my firefox temp, so I found the file which had the url of the site and the extensions of... .raw i thinkk, but anyways then I right clicked it and opened it with (in my case) Gold Wave, then I saved it as a .wav and I could edit it, save it and do what ever I liked with it... good luck, i know it sounds sketchy, but its do-able! :D bizzack (7739)
