    You see the question. Was about to use about:config and change parent_directory but found nothing there!

    Try creating one.

    How can I move the location of Firefox's cache to another drive to free up space on Cdrive? | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support

    Good Question JamesD, ^^^ This procedure worked perfectly for me under Ubuntu 12.. I also cleared the old stuff (900 + MB ) and created the new location before I followed Kdawgca's advise

    Thank you! I must have forgotten that I need to manually create the string. I think I just searched this string in the list and it was already there.
