Change location of temporary files

more options

I want to change the location of the temporary files corresponding to the web pages I visit. It seems to be called the cache.

Right now those files are saved in

   C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Temp\

but my C drive is a SSD and I don't want them to be there.

Note: In about:config, I created a string

   browser.cache.disk.parent_directory

and set its value to

   D:\Temp\Firefox_temp\

but to no avail: the temporary HTML pages are still created in C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Temp\.

Thanks a lot. It works.

I'm surprised that Firefox does not give more granular control. I have to change the TEMP not only for Firefox, but for every other application. In my case, it's perfectly what I want, though.
