Can anyone tell me how to change the location directory of the disk
cache in FireFox 1.5x? When I modify the directory setting in
about:config of browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to the desired
directory, it doesn't stick or take effect. When I exit and return to
about:config the previous value of the directory is shown rather than
the value I modified it to.

Thanks

You need to create a file called user.js in your profile folder.
It should contain the following ( modified to suit )


// Path to Cache folder:
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory","x:\\");

It's documented on one of the main Firefox tip sites

Do you have browser.cache.disk.enable turned on?
