How do you CHANGE the location (away from Drive C) where Firefox stores temporary files?

I know where Firefox stores temporary files. I want to CHANGE this location away from Drive C to decrease writes to an SSD. Thank you.

Thank you.
This function may be one of the few things that IE does better than Firefox. IE lets you change the temporary file location in Tools - Internet options - Settings. Firefox developers should make this task easier and put the instructions in the Help file where they can be easily found.
Since I use an SSD for Drive C, I have learned that any file(s) that are frequently written to should be moved elsewhere to a conventional HDD.

  • How can I change the location of my Backups? (e.g. Word files)

    I am wondering how I can change the location of my word doc. back ups. Everytime I make a new word document my computer makes a duplicate titled: " Backup [then the title I gave the word document]." I was wondering if I could make a single file to store all of the back ups. Currently they are in every file that the original is in. Thanks!

    It depends on which version of Windows you are using but it will intitally be downloaded to the C: drive.  The data is initially stored in the following locations:
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
    Windows 7 and Vista:  C:\Users\[login]\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
    You will need to get enough free space on the C: drive to allow the download.

  • How do you change the location of where your photos are stored?

    How do you go about changing the location of where your iPhoto files are housed?  I'm running out of space on one drive and want to move them all over to a drive that can house all of the current (and future) photos?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • How can you change the location of the iCloudDrive folder from it's default location assigned when downloaded.

    I recently downloaded the iCloudDrive folder for PC to keep my files up to date amongst my devices. I want to move the iCloudDrive folder from my default location "Jordan" to another folder I have saved on my PC. However, when I do so, the folder looses it's internet capabilities. It therefore does not automatically upload to my cloud storage, files that I add to the relocated folder. This function only seems to work when the folder is placed in "my personal folder": "Jordan". How can I move the iCloudDrive folder to a different location on my PC AND continue using it with internet functionality?!

    You cannot control, how the printed score will look. It is not supposed to be a tool for musical typesetting - only a convenience to be able to check your midi tracks quickly. You cannot even control, how the notes will be assigned to the staffs with the bass cleffs or treble clefs.
    Use other programs for better typesetting your musical scores, e.g.Finale.

  • How do you change the location of a cinema monitor?

    the cinema monitor comes expecting to be located to the left of the computer - images flow to the left from the computer onto the monitor. From the monitor they flow to the right onto the computer.
    How do you reverse this if you need to have the monitor located to the right of the computer?
    G5 plus cinema monitor   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    The left to right orientation is not changeable. For
    example, there is no way to have the menu bar
    reversed so that the "Apple" menu icon is on the
    right instead of the left. Nor is there any way to
    have a finder window with the sidebar on the right.
    However, you can place your dock on the right edge of
    the display and move your HD icons to the left.
    Windows will usually open in the location they were
    in when you closed them.
    Thanks for the help, but I think I was not clear with my original question (above). What I was trying to say was, when I slide a window from the G5 to the cinema monitor, the window always exits the G5 from the G5's left side and enters the cinema monitor from the monitor's right side. Since the monitor is located to the right of the G5, this is disconcerting.
    Is it possible to arrange things so one can move a window off the G5 from its right side - to the right - and then have it move into the monitor on the monitor's left side? This would be the "expected" behavior of the image. While the arrangements option in displays exchanges the roles of the G5 and the monitor, as it were, it doesn't solve the problem.

  • How do you change the Spotlight Search from Google to Yahoo???

    Does anyone know how to change the Spotlight Search setting in Safari 4 (Non Beta) from Google to Yahoo? I assume there is a way to do this though Terminal but all I can find are commands for the the Beta and not he final version.

    I'll echo the other suggestion given already - Glims is the way to go.
    My Safari is now set to use (oh the irony!) Live Search!
    Now if they can JUST find a way to get the address bar to revert to pre-4.0 behavior I'll be happy!
    (I'm not talking about the reload button on the far end; I'm talking about listing URLs by page title, "Top Sites", and bookmarks in that dropdown)

  • How do you change the location of a small image within an IMAQ image display?

    I have an image that exactly fills the display. But then I want to extract a portion of the image and display that small piece, but have it be in the same location as it was before, not centered in the display (essentially I want to crop the image but leave it in the same location). I tried the 'Image Center Position' property node for the image display, but is resets itself to the center of the display. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Marty

    You misused the Image Center position property : it works only on images larger than the display area. Have a look at the simplified version of your sample vi.
    One way to achieve your objective will be to create a black (or white) background image, with the same size as the original image and to paste the small piece over this BG.

  • How do you change the podcast feed from one website to another?

    Right now I'm using www.podstrike.com.
    But I ran out of storage there, so I want to switch to www.mypodcast.com.
    How can I do that, while maintaining the hundreds of subscribers I have?
    Thanks!

    Birdhunter,
    You have 3 options,
    1. login to itunes on the new computer and under store hit check for available downloads and that will download all purchases.
    2. Home share your files from the old computer to the new one under the advanced tab using the same itunes account and drag and drop.
    3. If the purchase music is on a mobile device (i.e. iphone,ipod touch, ipad) plug it into the new computer and right click on the device in itunes and hit "transfer purchases"
    Hope this helps!

  • How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

    How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

    Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
    In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

  • TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
    From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
    The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with. 
    Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
