Just trying to figure out why when I clear the Firefox app cache through the app prefrences it doesn't seem to clear the cache shown in the sc. I once found the app cache in the file system but I forgot where to go to find it and I would like to have the space back. I would also like to know if Firefox files identify themselves under any other name than having "firefox.app". (as an example like maybe .frf?)
