How can I change the location of files? (buffers, history)
I want to change the location of my history and buffers from my SSD to a flashdisk. [Reason: to overcome wear and rear on my SSD.] How can I do this? Open question: What other file locations (paths) should I change?

You can disable the disk cache by using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the Cache.
You can verify that on the about:cache page (disk cache entry is missing).
The history and the bookmarks are stored in the same file and can't be separated.
You would have to move the entire Firefox profile folder to that other drive or use Private Browsing mode.
It is probably a good idea to make regularly backups of valuable profile data in case of drive failure.
Flash drives also do not last forever and are also usually slower.
