Accessing Firefox temp folder

[neophase]

I don't want to CLEAR the temp folder, that's the LAST thing I want to do.

Watched a video online from a website, forgot the website, but when it downloads a big video, it must save it to the temp folder.

I want to keep this video, along with a couple extras, so the question is, how do I extract this video from the temp files and onto my HD as a readable video format such as AVI/MPG, etc.??

Thanks very much for your time,
N

Normally you don't save files from the Temp folder.
Actually it's not even advised to do ie corruptions so forth

You are best to save the data (movie, whatever) directly from the site you found it on
Now there are many programs to do this with (a lot are not free, depending upon what site etc)

The temp folder can be limited in size, and you are best to clear it regularly

Run CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/downloading to clear up not required temp files

Open Firefox> Tools> Downloads>> you should find it here.

The default location of Firefox downloads is the Desktop, but you will see the actual download here if you did not clear the download folder.

When you open the "Downloads" in the above reply, right click on the required file and select "Open containing folder" and it should take you to the files location. Right click on the required file and "save as" to where you want it.

This is not the "Downloads" location, either default or not
This thread is discussing the Temp location of Firefox
Which can be accessed by going to Start->Run-> %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

It's hidden away purposely, as it is normally not accessed except to possibly view it.
Normally this temp Firefox stuff is cleaned up and removed by most users, you can read h e r e on how to do that

If you watched a video online from a video site, the video will be there in the browser's cache until the time that you dont close the video webpage. If you close the webpage, video will be gone too. To save the video, you can use these utilities from Nirsoft.
VideoCacheView : http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/video_cache_view.html
MozillaCacheView : http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mozilla_cache_viewer.html

Once the video buffers fully, dont close the webpage. Open either of the two programs, and search for the video and then copy the video file to a different folder.
I hope that helps you, and this was what you were looking for.
