An Article about Mozilla Firefox temporary files.

The cache of a browser serves for acceleration of browser work, reduces network load and quantity of inquiries to internet site, which therefore increases its performance. That??™s why any browser tries to keep as much documents as possible in its cache.
If you open one page in a browser, then another, then return to the first one, then apparently the browser will download it from your hard disk, where it was primarily cached. This operation is performed much faster than getting the same document from network.
For page viewing it is necessary not only to get HTML code, but also to download from network all accompanying documents: CSS-files, images, the scripts issued in the form of separate files, etc. As lack, most viruses, network worms and malware-programs execute from temporary files directory, that`s why wrong adjustment of cache work and insufficient anti-virus control may turn temporary internet files into ?«virus territory?». Too large cache also negatively influences the work of a browser and PC hard disk subsystem, as a result, internet cache advantages disappear.

But where these temporary internet files can be found and how is it possible to operate them? For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer uses directory ???C:\Documents and Settings\_USER_NAME_HERE_\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files??? for cache storage, while Mozilla Firefox for Microsoft Windows stores its temporary files in directory ???C:\Documents and Settings\_USER_NAME_HERE_\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\_RANDOM_FILENAME_HERE_\Cache???
The adjustment of internet cache size is possible in Firefox menu Tools - Options - Advanced - Network - Offline Storage. Here it is also possible to limit hard disk space for temporary files` storage or delete them right away (???Clear Now???). If necessary, the present operation can be performed differently: wipe the internet cache directory manually or create file clear_ff_temp.cmd with the following content:
rd /s /q "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles"

This cmd file will delete all Firefox temporary storages on this computer. It should be performed, for example, before anti-virus scanning along with Windows temporary files folder wiping (C:\Documents and Settings\_USER_NAME_HERE_\Local Settings\Temp), because in this case thousands of odd small files (usual quantity of temporary files of Windows and browser) won`t be processed, so it will save you some time. This will also delete viruses and malware if they had already been there.

If necessary, the file clear_ff_temp.cmd can be added to the Windows scheduler or autorun, then Firefox temporary files wiping will be performed automatically.
It should be noted that too frequent cache wiping will decrease internet cache utility. The default Firefox adjustments are usually enough, but sometimes temporary internet files wiping is really necessary and then we recommend to take advice of the given clause.
