Adjusting memory location of the browser cache

Usually, the cache memory of the browser is in the profile data of the user. To increase the available space or speed or both, you might want to shift the cache memory to a faster drive.

The browser offers no direct path setting for the cache.Here comes the help of firefox users help blog 'http://firefoxstuffs.blogspot.com'. Any way, an entry in the advanced configuration can make it possible. First delete the data that is already stored in the cache. Open the 'Tools---> Options' for this and click on the 'Advanced' icon. Activate the 'Network' tab under it. Then in the 'Cache' area, click on 'Clear now' and then click 'OK'.
Now type 'about:config' in th address bar of the browser and press Enter key. Then, right-click on an empty space in the displayed list and select the 'New-->String' context command. Enter 'browser.cache.disk.parent_directory' as the preference name and click 'OK'. In the next dialouge box enter the complete path to the desired new memory location of the cache(eg;-C:\Program Files\firefox_ cache) and click 'OK'.
