with Netscape all of the Webcam shots from live feeds were automatically saved in my cache folder and I could simply open my cache send the saved files into AcDsee and convert them into jpgs, It would save as many as I would allow space for. With firefox
I cant retrieve my images from webcams that are cached any more with mozilla. With netscape all of the live webcam images from live cams were automatically saved in my cache folder and all i had to do was open it send the files to acdsee and turn them into jpgs. It would save them untill the Cache ran out of room no matter how many files or sites I had running. Mozilla seems to save what it wants when it wants and often dose not save any that I can retrieve because I believe it is bulking them into Cache 123 or 4 and those i cant open to retrieve the files. Sometimes it saves 100 or so and sometimes 2 or 3 sometimes 10 or more but i don't seem to have any control over what it does or does not save to retrieve no matter how much space i allow for the cache to save.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== I finally gave up trying to keep netscape due to all the ridiculess popups and continued reminders from you saying i had to switch over

Hello James.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at getfirefox.com.
As for your issue, have you tried access about:cache in your location bar? That will show (in supported versions, at least) all your cache entries, and you won't need to look for them directly in the cache folders.
i will try that as soon as i upgrade and see if that fixes the issue I didnt know i was using an outdated version Thanks for your help
You have or had an extension installed (Ant.com Toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.3 to Firefox/3.0.12.
You can see the Firefox version at the top and the user agent at bottom of the "Help > About" window (Mac: Firefox > About Mozilla Firefox).
You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page. You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website. Filter: general.useragent If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

I have installed the new version now and tried going to the about cache thing. It opens a lot of stuff, but i have no idea what any of it is or which items are the cached cam shots I am trying to save. could you possibly give me a little more detail on how to tell what is what in there ??? Thanx Jim
Sorry , please disregard the last plea for further assisatnce.. I had typed in the wrong address in my bar.. After trying again and copy and pasting the correct location I was able to pull up the cache as you had directed. Thanx very much again for your help.. JIM
I'm glad.
