This is possible with MSIE, but apparently not with Firefox. We would like to have this ability in Firefox too. Thank you.

Sorry if I misunderstand the bug, but in the latest Firefox versions the cache has been moved to another location. See Bug 74085. It is easy to store the cache on a self-chosen other location. Type about:config in the location bar and create (rightclick > new) the pref browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and give it the string value of the new location. Then after closing Firefox, delete the old cache folder.

------- Comment #1 from ria.klaassen@gmail.com 2005-11-17 07:41 PST ------- Sorry if I misunderstand the bug, but in the latest Firefox versions the cache has been moved to another location. See Bug 74085. It is easy to store the cache on a self-chosen other location. Type about:config in the location bar and create (rightclick > new) the pref browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and give it the string value of the new location. Then after closing Firefox, delete the old cache folder. ------- This worked perfectly. Only problem I had was finding the old "cache" folder: "Application Data" is a hidden folder under "Documents and Settings". Once I figured that out, the contents of the "cache" folder were easy to delete. MANY THANKS!!
