It's not firefox fault, I need help with cache/temporary internet files scavenging: I need to restore a link from a site I visited earlier. The link was in page source, written in HTML's <a href="THE_LINK">. I don't know if Firefox stores visited sites source codes, so I don't know if it's even possible? I tried to look for the link in cached files with Cache Viewer, but with no result. Can you help me?

If the Cache Viewer extension didn't show the file then it is most likely not in the browser cache.
