what happened to the cache?
My cache is completely empty. Caching has always been on. I haven't cleared my cache in the last few weeks. I search the cache for 'hidden' URIs; for example, I want to download an swf or mp3 file that the website doesn't expose but plays through a client, such as Shockwave. I used to search the cache. I tried it recently but when I went to look the cache was empty; it still is a day later. Hmm... I just looked again, now there's index.sqlite, but nothing else.

Is Firefox configured to use the new cache2?
Do you see the disk cache section on the about:cache page?
Can you attach a screenshot of the about:cache page?

- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
- Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
- Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
- do not clear the Cache (Firefox will disable the disk cache in this case, see about:cache)
- Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Hmmmm... it seems that Firefox moved its cache from $HOME/.mozilla/... to $HOME/.cache/... without telling me.
Thanks for your help.
