From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 BuildID: 2002041711 (1.0 RC1) Introduction: "roming user" is a feature of the Windows platform in a LAN environment since at least Windows NT 4. The content of the system-level user profile is replicated from a server at logon/logoff: At logon the profile is copied from the server, and at logoff it is saved to the server. Problem: The browser disk cache is stored in the user profile and it is usually huge (the default size for Mozilla cache is 50Mb, but the user may have a much bigger). This cause a long logon/logoff time. Solution: Microsoft has defined a standard place for such huge data that is not required to roam: "Local Settings" in the user profile directory. This special place is not replicated to the server. Internet Explorer implements this and stores its cache in "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files". Note: "Roaming user" is a Windows NT/2000 feature widely used in big companies where computers are installed with masters. Expected Results: Store the cache in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\%Mozilla profile%.%Random string%.Cache Here is some reference documentation: * General information about Windows roaming users: - "Roaming User": http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xpreskit/html/glossary.asp#roaminguser - Windows 2000: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/server/help/default.asp?url=/WINDOWS2000/en/server/help/sag_UPtopnode.htm * Information about "Local Settings": http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwue/html/ch11b.asp <BLOCKQUOTE> Local Settings folder: Store per-user files that do not apply when the user roams, such as discardable data or temporary files. </BLOCKQUOTE> - See "Local AppData" in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders * http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnw2kcli/html/w2kcli_chapter4.asp
