There is a good benefit to keeping cache files together, so that they can be mounted on other devices, or ignored from backups etc. Many apps now put cache files under ~/.cache/ It would be cool if this could be done for firefox. I suggest this setting: browser.cache.disk.parent_directory=~/.cache/firefox/$profile/ cheers, Pádraig.
Upstream bugs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229596 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216204 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217146 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239254 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727579 There seems to be a problem with the relative path (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229596), we'd need to translate the home directory properly.
Thanks for looking into this. It's surprising this isn't already supported (seeing as it was explicitly requested 9 years ago). Anyway seems like they're nearly there in: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239254
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Yes, it's https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239254. I'm going to track it upstream.
