I want to ensure that Mozilla's temp cache is set to a drive other than C:\. But, I cannot determine the default location Mozilla is currently using as web cache. Under tools, the only option available is controlling the cache size - not its location.

In Windows 7 64bit Ultimate , the environmental variables "Temp" and "Tmp" are both set to K:\Temp. How can I: 1. Verify that Mozila is using the K:\Temp file. 2. Change the location of the Cached Web Content to a different drive and folder?

You can change the location of the cache via a pref on the about:config page.
