I have changed cache location but FF4 continues to use appdata/local/temp for storing actual files

I use FF 4.0.1

I changed the location of the disk cache by going to about:cache and changing browser.disk.cache.parent_directory to a new location

yet FF4 still stores files at the old location

Did you set the path for that pref correctly?

Make sure that the new path exists.

You can try to remove the cache folder in the old location to see if that makes Firefox use the new location.

Thanks! Actually firefox DOES create a folder called Cache and fill it with lots of other folders. The problem is that when it comes to actual files, they land at the original appdata/local folder :(
