Now I’ve checked! There is a nice plugin called CacheViewer which seems to work quit nicely.

URLs, Mimetype, date, size, device (disk or RAM)

pictures are automatically shown as a thumbnail when selected.

You can choose multiple files and save. Seems like one can only delete one at a time though.

Experimented with using the address to the disk cache location in the file explorer. It works but the file names are just mumbojumbo without even extensions, but one can sort them by size and date.
There probably is some FF plugin that should be able to do something better, but maybe I’m just hoping.

Johnson, you might want to check out Firefox’s forms to get help on that specific question. Sounds nice though.

Yeah but how do you just see it like in IE? So you open your cache using about:cache and then copy it to address bar to see it; but all you get are hyperlinks; can’t you just see all images stored without having to click on each one (and/or save each one again)??

Aah!!

You copy the address to the actual cache file, and firefox will automagicailly list what’s cached!

Thank you

Zadkiel, under the ‘Disk cache device’ listing it says ‘Cache Directory’

but the link is to the actual website where the cache was taken from, i.e., it won’t show the file stored in the disk.

Mine all show up as hyper links. Click on the link and it loads the image or swf.
