Chosen solution

Changing the location of firefox temp files is done by doing these steps :

->>>Open firefox

2) type about:config in the address bar 3) Promise that you'll be careful

4) Right click anywhere in the browser and goto 'New' and select 'New String' from the Menu.

5) Enter browser.cache.disk.parent_directory as the preference name

6) Enter the path to the new cache location, example: d:\firefox_temp.

NOTE: You can also create another string (in addition) called browser.cache.offline.parent_directory

Enter the path to the new cache location, example: d:\firefox_temp.

i highly doubt it's going to help because i wasn't even able to open the file through firefox download history
