I know that the favourites is a HTML template rather than a directory with firefox, cache may work similar and work off a template rather than directory...
Hope this helps.

I hate how Firefox has all your Passwords to see, GO TOOLS->OPTIONS->PRIVACY and it shows all your passwords, i feel unsafe with that, if i can see it so easily what about other intruders  .

Just set a password by clicking change master password, therefore intruders cant view it unless they have that password.

If firefox did have the option of opening a new page in another (monitor specific) window - in monitor 1 / monitor 2 etc.. like IE does.. i'd consider using it. And it doesnt display some pages properly. And i'm pedantic as to the cache location and dont quite like the time taken to reassign it.

ever used the tabbed window feature? i've only need one browser window, i loose a few pixels at the top to accomodate the tabs (tho no more than the chrome and shit Ie puts up there anyway) and i don't need a second monitor for gazillions of browser windows

did you mean to say firefox doesn't render compliant pages incorrectly like IE does?
and that it only fails on pages and sites specifically designed to only work in IE

it's in user-space anyway? if your browser cache is exessively large and is freqently hit to speed up net access then perhaps your settings are too permissive?
i prefer to see up-to-date web content - so anything older than 7days is chucked by default and after a weekend of reading shit on the net, i flush the cache anyway

To redirect the cache
*open firefox
*browse to about:config
*edit/add the entry browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to be a string pointing to the cache location.
*close and restart browser (only the browser, it isn't IE so no reboot needed!).
*this only effects the current user, for multi profile stuff look up help on user.js.

Click on the set master password button and protect/hide your password info.
