The Location Of Mozilla Cache Folder

The cache folder of SeaMonkey is located under C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\[Profile Name]\Cache

Using MozillaCacheView
MozillaCacheView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. Just copy the executable file (MozillaCacheView.exe) to any folder you like, and run it.
After you run it, the main window displays the list of files currently stored in the cache of the Mozilla/Firefox profile that you used in the last time.
If you want to view the cache of another profile, simply use the 'Select Cache Folder' option (F9), and choose the desired cache folder.
You can select one or more cache files from the list, and than export the list into text/html/xml file ('Save Selected Items' option),
copy the URL list to the clipboard (Ctrl+U), copy the entire table of cache files (Ctrl+C), and then paste it to Excel or to OpenOffice spreadsheet.
You can also extract the actual files from the cache, and save them into another folder, You can do that by using the
'Copy Selected Cache Files To' option (F4).
Notice...
In order to watch the latest cache files, you must close all Windows of Firefox, because only when you do that,
Firefox saves the cache index files into the disk.
Notice For Delete Option
When you delete files from the cache, MozillaCacheView delete the cache files, but it doesn't delete the reference to them in the cache index file.
This means that even after you delete files from the cache, you'll still see them in the list, but the 'Missing File' column will be turned from 'No' to 'Yes'.
