The Cache for all the versions of firefox I have used up to 1.0rc1 have used the
'application data' folder in windows nt/2000/xp/2003 profiles, if roaming
profiles are being used this folder is included in the profile and could
potentially have 50megs of data to move on each logon and logoff, this issue
could turn away companies from using firefox, the best place to put the cache
folder is under the 'local settings\application data' folder this is not carried
with the profile, I really see no need for the cache to follow a profile,
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Firefox
2.browse a few pages
3.see how large the cache folder gets rather quickly
Actual Results:
roaming profile took longer to load
Expected Results:
used the 'local settings\application data' folder
There is a work around for this for windows where you can exclude folders under
the 'application data' folder but this work around has limitations where it will
only accept so many characters, and with so many other products using this same
folder where they do not need to, it becomes a major issue,
Please search before filing new bugs. IMO duplicate of Bug 74085. Please resolve it.
