Sorry, you will need to revert to Firefox 3.6.x to get the older single file cache structure. There's no option for changing that structure in Firefox 4. It is the way it is.

  • Bug 597224 - HTTP Cache: use directory tree to store cache files

You can do a search for all files *.* in Windows Explorer (or another file manager) to see all the files in the cache in one list.
