Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 123080

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[Warren Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

Mozilla stores all of the user profiles in %USERPROFILE%\Application
Data\Mozilla. If a user has a large cache (> 10MB) windows has problems copying
the cache to the domain server when updating the roaming profile. If just the
cache were able to be moved to %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Mozilla, then this problem will not occur. It is important, however, to
keep the user settings in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla, so the browser
settings follow the user.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a roaming profile
2. Fill up your cache
3. Try to update your profile

Actual Results:  
Windows gives error that it is unable to update profile.

Expected Results:  
Put data in a different directory.
