Retrieve Flash Video From Firefox Cache Folder
Anyway, I managed to find the Firefox tips and tricks of retrieving flash video (and others) from its cache folders. Indeed, It’s not that difficult as compare to IE7 too, but just a matter of how used to it!
Hence, I am writing this Firefox tricks to complete the guides on how to download Raiden-X flash game with IE7 from Rapidshare.com and how to download Youtube Video for offline playback with Vista IE7!
How to download Youtube Video for offline playback with Firefox 2.x ?
How to retrieve Raiden-X flash game from Firefox cache folder after complete downloading from Rapidshare.com?
- Unlike IE7, Firefox display the file downloading message in its status bar (picture below) and render the ongoing download percentage of Raiden-X flash game (pic above).
- Once the Raiden-X download is completed, press CTRL + T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab in Firefox web browser.
- Press ALT + D, type
about:cachein the Firefox address bar and press ENTER to open Firefox 2.x cache file management interface.Firefox 2.x maintain temporarily Internet cache files in both hard disk and memory. The memory cache device is generally smaller size than disk cache device. A huge temporarily Internet file, such as Youtube video or Raiden-X flash game, will not likely store in memory cache device.
- Click the “List Cache Entries” link of disk cache device section
- Press CTRL + F keyboard shortcut to bring up the search function. Type
.swf(file extension of the interactive shockwave-flash) orraiden(the Raiden-X flash game) orflv(Youtube flash video), etc.In IE7, Youtube flash video is renamed to
get_videoby default. But, Firefox cache file management interface will show Youtube flash video with its real name and FLV file extension in “Key” value. The “File On Disk:”, however, is standardized to alpha-numeric file-name and without file extension!
- Once you’ve found the target file, right-click the hyper-link and select either “Open Link in New Window” or “Open Link in New Tab” option
- Go to the new window or new tab and locate “File On Disk:” - this is the path of the temporarily Internet file that cached to local hard disk. In this case, it’s the Raiden-X flash game downloaded from Rapidshare.com.
Now, browse to the path shown by “File On Disk:” with Windows Explorer, copy the cached file to else-where and rename it with meaningful file-name with file extension - Raiden-X.swf (for shockwave-flash game) or Youtube-Video.flv (flash video file extension end with flv)!
So, I guess you should know how to retrieve picture, MIDI, mp3, wma, etc, from Firefox cache folder too!
