1. Enter "about:config" in the Firefox's location address field.

2. Accept the warning about Dragons and promise to be careful.

3. Type "cache.disk.parent" in the Filter field.

4. Double click the "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" entry.

5. In the "Enter string value" dialog enter your new cache directory path. For example: "E:\Temp\Firefox_Temporary_Cache". Click OK.

6 . Restart Firefox

7. Check your new cache location by repeating steps 1 through 3.
