Firefox – How to locate the offline file data in firefox

browser-cachefirefoxhistory

I used to locate the file data by going to cache directory, which I would locate by typing about:cache in the Firefox address bar. I can still navigate to this page but the file structure inside his has changed. Earlier I would take, say for example a file of maximum size and rename it to .flv to get it working as a video file. Now I am unable to locate this video files. does anybody have any idea as to where would you find the cached files in Firefox(say you watched a video in YouTube) and now you want it to access offline.

Thanks

Looks like this section of the developer documentation has the answer:

Storage location and clearing the offline cache

In Firefox, the offline cache data is stored separately from the Firefox profile—next to the regular disk cache:

Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.\OfflineCache

Mac/Linux: /Users//Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/./OfflineCache
