Viewing Cache in Firefox, and downloading Flash Files.
Coming from using IE, where you have the “temporary internet files” folder. You get used to getting your swf files from there. But with Firefox if you go to the cache folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\********.default\Cache
You just don’t get the files.
But if you type this in your firefox address bar:
about:cache?device=memory
…you get a list of files, and can right-click them and download them
Another better way to manage this is with this add-on is: Firefox Cache viewer
Updated: Here’s an image of the add-on:
You don’t get a preview of the SWF files, but you do get a preview of images.
You can also search and you get a bit more info of each file.
