How do I move Firefox 4's disk & offline cache to a different location?

By going to about:config and creating a new entry "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" (does not exist by default) I am able to change the disk cache.

However I can't seem to figure out how to change the offline cache. about:cache still reports that it is in the default location. Does anyone know how to change this?

Dear prob, Thank you for your direction. But I have another problem. I want to see my cache in one directory, because when I use firefox 3.x all the save cache files had in one directory like as IE Temporary Internet Files. but now they are in the cache directory/and then in subdirectory 0,1,2.../and in subdirectory 1e,6d,... Please help me to change this manner. My enail is f44143@yahoo.com

Please stick with the thread you started about your own problem with multiple cache folders. Moving the cache folder isn't going to fix that issue. When you move the cache location, the Firefox 4+ versions are still going to use that same scheme for the cache.
