Firefox use can lead to data loss (as it did in my case:( because the very frequent disk writes to the folder 'Cache' are made to the same partition table and indeed the same folder as user documents and settings (with bad luck one can therefore lose the entire 'Documents and Settings' folder..) Cache should be immediately moved to TEMPorary folder, whose path should be determined by either a system variable or the location of paging file. Additionally, the cache folder location should be controlled manually, like in Mozilla. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just surfed with background writes to a 150 MB database... Actual Results: Scandisk found a cross-link with one of the Firefox cache files - unreadable both :( Expected Results: Written cache info to the TEMP folder, which is safely located on another "junk" partition, together with the paging file.

The Disk cache should be in the local directory and this will happen. If you want to chnage the location you have to use about:config *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74085 ***
