Would this help:
<QUOTE>
* Open Firefox
* In the location bar, type about:config and hit enter
* Right-click in the white-space, and choose New->String. Enter
the name browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and click ok.</liL
* In the next box, enter the full patch to the directory you
want to store your cache in. Something like C:Documents and
SettingsusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataMozillaFirefoxCache
* Close Firefox.
* Delete your old cache directories in C:Documents and
SettingsusernameApplication
DataMozillaFirefoxProfilessomething.username I actually had three
directories in here with cache in the name. I deleted all three.
* Restart Firefox. It will create the directory specified
above, if it doesn't already exist.
