Found it at C:\Documents and Settings\david\Local Settings\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\406mllxj.default\Cache
but the files don't look like .html, .jpg, .swf etc. Don't know how to use
what I have found, how do I use what's there?
thanks

That is because unlike IE, Firefox does not store all the files as
discrete files but all gobbed together in a few large data files.



Better security, better performance. I pointed this out at the beginning of my first message actually. *smile*


Yes Roy, yes you did but David seemed to missed your point...so I said it again with different words ;-)


Put "about:cache" in the address bar and you can peruse either disk
cache or memory cache files with the respective 'List Cache Entries'
link. You can preview and save any entry.



I never knew about that. While you're at it, be greedy and raise the pipelining value. This should enable you to take data transfers rates up a gear or two.

Yep the "about:*" features of Gecko (actually descendant from old Netscape) can be real handy.

Take care,
