FireFox cache

[RobbGMelenyk]

I'm writing a C# program that returns various pieces of computer
information. I want to return information about what the user browses
on the web. It will only support two browsers: FireFox and IE because
this is what the userbase of this program uses. For IE, I return the
information within the Temporary Internet Files. I've found some nice
tutorials and examples that have helped me with this. The important
information being the file type and the source URL.

I, however, can't find anything on FireFox's cache. I see the
directory and the various files within but there format is never
specified and opening the file in notepad seems to be some encoding
method. I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but figured I'd
try since it's a C# app.

Any ideas?

A very solid post with great info but it doesn't quite bring me to what
I need, I think. I like that program he linked, to bad it's shareware.
Is there possibly a way to invoke the "about:config" command from some
sort of API in C?

It sounds to me as if the functionality you request would have to be
exploited through some kind of browser security hole. What exactly are
you trying to do?

I wondered if that may be the case. I want to return information that
is similar to what is contained in the "Temporary Internet Files".
Obviously, if the method is encroaching upon security holes, the
process will be abandoned and I will just worry about IE.

Nevermind, when you mentioned browsers, I automatically assumed ASP.NET.
I understand what you're trying to do now. Please ignore my response.
