Where does Firefox cache videos? (I checked the Cache foler. Not there)

The FireFox' disk cache foler is set to ''D:\Cache'' (I set it so from about:config).
I cleared the disk cache, watched a YouTube video (almost 2 minute long), then looked into ''D:\Cache''. But the video I had watched was not there! (I found two .SWF files. But their sizes were smaller than 250K. And, stand-alone SWF players couldn't play them. Therefore, they can't be YouTube videos.)
So, where does Firefox cache videos?

Firefox doesn't cache videos on disk. The Flash player that plays the videos is in the cache, but the videos are streamed and not saved. They may be kept in the memory cache during the play.
You can check the cache on the about:cache page.

  • Where does firefox cache the form parameters to be used in the reload event of a page that was the resposne of a HTTP POST request?

    Suppose there is form in a web page and it submits data in HTTP POST method. After submitting the form, if I reload the page [either by the refresh button or back button; whichever applicable], firefox asks permission to resend the form data by saying "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action...". Now if the user clicks on the resend, firefox resubmits the form data.
    So where does firefox store this from data for such future resending/resubmission?
    Is it possible to retrieve/manipulate those stored form data?

    I thought I'd tried that, as tried lots of other things like encoding URL, but obviously not as this works.

    Firefox saves downloads to wherever you specify. Check your settings in Tools > Options > General, Download section. If you have it set to "Always ask me where to save files", then only you know where they were saved.

  • Where does portal details gets stored in the backend

    Hi Gurus,
    Where does portal contents gets stored in the portal related backend ?
    Example:  We have Content Administration under which we create iviews, pages, worksets and roles. Where does this gets stored ? do they get stored in some table as shown below ?
    Table:
    Parameters:
    iview   'Report a Problem' iView Path      Add Padding Inside Tray   Allow Client-Side Caching   Application Name
    Values:
    Test       com.sap.portal.epsolman.EPSolman     Yes                                     Yes                                Testapp
    How can we fetch the details ?
    Regards,
    Rashmi

    Hi Rashmi
    To get the data from the portal database you need to use a datasource lookup.
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/SAP/BC_JMS");
    Connection con = ds.getConnection();
    The following datasources are provided by default for reading data from portal database
    SAP/BC_JMS,SAP/BC_UME, SAP/BC_WDRR.
    You can read more about JDBC Connector Service in the link [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/31/4cc81b275a419c8c72dca94366318a/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/31/4cc81b275a419c8c72dca94366318a/frameset.htm]

  • When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted.. help?

    Windows 7
    Intel Core i5
    Flash Player: WIN 10,1,53,64
    When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted. The image turns into lines and sometimes it half of the screen of the video. Examples are streaming MLB.tv video and some vimeo videos. The odd thing is that it isn’t all Vimeo videos. Is this a flash issue?
    The issue does not happen with Internet Explorer which leads me to believe this is an issue with Firefox. I downgraded to 3.5 and the issue still persists.

  • Where does Firefox save UserID for Verizon Mail?

    I use Verizon Mail with Firefox. The User ID
    for verizon mail is one's email address. However,
    if you mistakenly type something else other than
    the correct User ID in the box, the computer
    dutifully remembers it along with the correct
    one! Where does Firefox save these User IDs
    for Verizon Mail so that I can kill the incorrect
    ones?

    Almost. You have to highlite the offending entry
    and then HOLD down the Shift Key and then
    hit the Delete Key. I found this answer that
    works by searching on the web which led me
    back to this site. The original posted question

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video.

    When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video. This happens randomly and does not seem to be a problem with the videos as they run fine. what is going on?

    Several times every day YouTube shuts down some of their servers to update stuff. Be patient if YouTube is slow, stuck or mangled. Transmissions from YouTube to your computer are done in multiple tiny packets of data and flash at a time. That's why sometimes you may get any of these scenarios: bits and pieces of text/thumbnails in weird places; sluggish loading/buffering; the spinning circle going on forever; or the player being blank. This problem could fix itself within a few hours or by the next day.
    If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange, it's very possible that your directories of "temporary internet files" and RAM (sometimes known as "cache") are close to the maximum and just cannot take anymore, the end result being any of the above scenarios or videos that: A) come to a complete freeze; B) start/stop/start/stop in a choppy way; or C) never even make it onto your screen.
    "Temporary internet files" are tiny bits of webpages that get permanently put on your hard-drive. They will remain forever on your computer, gradually plugging it up like hair stuck in a sink drain, until you finally get rid of them once and for all. Thus, exit out of YouTube, then clear your "cache" of all its "temporary internet files", "cookies" and "history". It is best if you shutdown and reboot afterwards. You'll be amazed at how "fresh" and "new" your YouTube will be.
