Firefox 4 - Hidden Cache Divided Into Folders

I don't want cache divided into folders and more folders.

It's now virtually impossible to copy and save streamed media directly from the hidden cache.

Solution to permanently eliminating all the folders and reverting back to 1 cache folder filled with a list?

I'll try to explain this more coherently -

documents and settings/owner/local settings/application data/mozilla/firefox/profiles/profile-name_default/cache

Firefox 4 has a new caching system

cache - open up and say hello to multiple folders and subfolders, instead of single cache folder filled with cached files

This is making it an utter nightmare to try and copy/save streamed media, flash videos, unsaved pictures, other documents, etc

Many files in the hidden cache are not stored in "Temp" folder or "Temporary Internet Files" folder, the hidden cache is the only location where they're stored

How can users revert back the old cache (single folder) system?

Thanks buddy but it's not compatible with Firefox 4 or 4.0.1.
