I am having a problem finding and retrieving the temporary internet files that are stored. I went to about:cache and found the file I need, but when I click on it, it isn't retrieved. Rather, it opens what looks like the hex source for the file. How can I retrieve the file?

Right click the "key:" link on the Cache entry information page and choose "Save Link as" to save that file.
