It's under C:\Documents and Settings\<your name here>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles in the cache folder.

But the cache isn't set up the same way as the ie cache is. The files are encoded in some way.

And no, I've never had that problem. You got the latest version?

See this is the problem..I dont see that Application Data folder. And yes, I got the latest version.

Oh its there .Whats the cache set at? The default of 50000kb? O hh you have folders hidden! :D I just checked mine noticed its a hidden folder . Check your folder properties and tick show all files and folders .

Youll find that Firefox is not as great as its Anal Fanboys would like you to think....
Its really nothing special...Its limited really by not being able to access Windows Update..Well documented that it has memory issues, but its fanboys will tell you its a "natural occurrence" and theres nothing wrong with it..

Anal ? :boxing: Yep , I find ccleaner and firefox work pretty good together . I keep IE for sites that Firefox can't access tho . Simple really . :)

Access the cache by typing about:cache into the address bar.

There have been many posts about the links prob ~ there are solutions ... but I can't remember what they were! Ask @ the FF user support forum.

FF does take longer to load - IE is very tightly integrated into Windows - hence one of the problems with security (the others being the non-W3C standards compliance, terrible CSS support, nearly the only browser to not fully support Alpha transparency for PNG ... so, on).

I think IE is the only *I think* browser that can use Windows update because the Windows update site uses non-w3c standard code & technology.

But it is true that FF seems to suffer from memory problems on some systems - they are working on it (very slowly). As an alternative you could try Opera.

Its limited really by not being able to access Windows Update.

If that's all it's limited in,and I think that's pretty much it,all I can say is:
So? :huh:

Ahh those anals i mentioned earlier have arrived...lol

What's that you say? :rolleyes:

Anyway,my point being is that you can't call it limited just because it can't access Windows Updates.

That is all :devil: Troll

Its limited really by not being able to access Windows Update..

:frusty: Damn those idiots at Mozilla. :dry:

Still, it's the dogs nuts for 99.9% of all the other websites out there... I can live with having to use IE to get to Windows Update...


Cough - Opera - cough


Yes, the best thing to do with Opera is cough it right out of your system....

:01:

Dont use Opera of Fx cause theyre both shit when it comes to memory management...
Theyve both had plenty of time to get there shit together but havent bothered (I suspect they cant fix it)..I mean you'd think that wouldve been the first thing they did, fix the mem management..
