Hello:
I've just discovered a "brilliant" annoying change in firefox. I found that the browser's cache directory has been relocated to ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox. I want to move it back to where it belongs, in the firefox profile directory. I found that I have to add a new string to about:config, browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and set the cache directory path there. But I don't want to set an absolute path. I want to set the path relative to firefox's profile path. But if I only set eg Cache, it does not work. How can I set a relative path for cache directory? The same question applies to other cache directories, OfflineCache, safebrowsing, startupCache, and thumbnails too.
This 'Cache relocation' happens only for the default created profile. start firefox from a command line with the added parameter "-ProfileManager" and create a new profile and declare this as new default, close firefox. Check ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini for the path information, copy whatever info you want into this new profile-path, and happy using firefox from this new location all in one dir.
Thanks, but this approach does not work. When the new profile is created and started the first time, the cache directories are created in the profile directory. But at the following startups they are generated in /cache/firefox/<new-profile-name>.
