However in some (mostly corporate) installations the profile is backed up, or a roaming profile is used. Having the cache in this adds up to 50Mb (by default) to the backup or roaming profile sync. 100 users would therefore add 5Gb of unnecessary data. The cache should be storyed in a subfolder of userprofile\local settings, for example userprofile\local settings\application data\mozilla firefox\cache\profile name.

Does 74085 apply to Firefox, or just Mozilla?
