Firefox 28.0 WIN xp

I would like all the cache files to be maintained in one single folder and not spread over multiple folders in a directory structure (as it currently operates).

(current cache location) C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxx.default (multiple folders and sub-folders)

Is there some way for Firefox to do this?

hello jmac11, as far as i'm aware this is done for performance reasons and there is no way to customize this. for the background on this issue you can refer to bug 597224.

AFAIK that is not possible.

It is possible to choose an alternative location but the structure will remain the same.

I do not know whether you have discovered it but you cache details may be accessed from Firefox by navigating to about:cache . About:cache details the three caches.
