I clear my Cache regularly (with EACH shutdown at minimum). I am aware of and use the Cache location setting "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory".

Is there a setting to go back to the Cache directory structure of 3.6?

I am not experiencing Cache access disk slowdown issues and I liked the single directory structure.

No. That new structure was created to allow more and larger files to be cached and overcome the limitations of the cache that is used in older Firefox versions.

It doesn't solve my problem, but it does answer it!

Thanks!

You're welcome.

Do you clear the cache yourself manually or do you use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox or cleanup software?

Both. I have a DOS BAT/CMD file that sits on the Quick Launch Bar. It clears Cache and Cookies with just a Click.
