We rely heavily upon GHOST drive images
to save and restore stable systems:
this procedure requires us to move
data files to another partition
other than the C: system partition.
This is possible with MSIE, but
apparently not with Firefox.
We would like to have this ability
in Firefox too. Thank you.

can't re-locate cache folder/files
Expected Results:
cache is apparently hard-coded to stay on C:
See "Temporary Internet Files" in MS Internet Explorer

Sorry if I misunderstand the bug, but in the latest Firefox versions the cache has been moved to another location. See Bug 74085.
It is easy to store the cache on a self-chosen other location.
Type about:config in the location bar and create (rightclick > new) the pref browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and give it the string value of the new location. Then after closing Firefox, delete the old cache folder.

This worked perfectly. Only problem I had was finding
the old "cache" folder: "Application Data" is a hidden
folder under "Documents and Settings". Once I figured
that out, the contents of the "cache" folder were easy
to delete.
MANY THANKS!!
