How can i customize the location of the temporary files in the newest version?
The old trick with the added string doesn't work anymore and leads Firefox to crash.
browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
Firefox 65

Note that it is about:config with a colon (about is a protocol) and not about.config with a dot.
Does the folder that you specify exist and do you have write permission to this location?
Note that in about:config you need to use single backslashes to specify the location on Windows.

Thanks hellosct1 and cor-el. Solved with your help. It's a RAM Drive so it gets erased on every shutdown and of course then theres no directory. Have a nice weekend!
