Default Mozilla cache directory configuration on Windows is under C:\Documents
and Settings\brigaut\Application Data\Mozilla
Thus Microsoft is very precise about not using this "Application Data" directory
for temporary storage because of roaming profiles synchronisation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/policy/policy/profiles_directory.asp
>>>>>Local Settings Application settings and data that do not roam with the
profile. Usually the settings or data in this directory are computer-specific,
or they are too large to roam effectively. This directory contains the following
subfolders: Application Data, History, Temp, Temporary Internet Files.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
This configuration errors leads to impossible synchronisation when logging in ou
logging out on windows if the profile directory is on a server (too many file to
synchronise)
Actual Results:
N/A
Expected Results:
Use the "Local Settings" directory instead:
C:\Documents and Settings\brigaut\Local Settings\
Proposal for the default cache directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\brigaut\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Cache
thus the directory in default configuration should be
C:\Documents and Settings\brigaut\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla
... because oddly you have to point to an upper directory instead of the exact
cache directory containing cache files
