I'm trying to find youtube video (just watched) in Firefox cache folder, but I cant find the folder.
win xp sp3
Firefox 16.1
I tried
C:\Documents and Settings\eDIN\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xp44aixq.default\Cache
Also
C:\Documents and Settings\eDIN\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\49mvq84u.default\Cache
In this folder I found the png thumbnail of visited youtube page
C:\Documents and Settings\eDIN\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\49mvq84u.default\thumbnails
But, there is no video file.
I also searched all files and folders arround (Default user, All users…etc).
There is only one win user.

The video will be there in the cache only as long as you are seeing it in the browser, after which it is deleted automatically. I would recommend using plugins provided by modern browsers if you want to download the video.
