How can I view everything firefox has downloaded? Temporary Internet Files
Which folder should i try to access?
How come some folders blank but they have files inside them?
A download is something you want to put on your hard drive such as a program. It can be found in Tools> Downloads. The downloads will remain there until you check 'clear list.' 'the 'download' feature has 2 parts:
Downloading the setup file and saving it to the desktop or other location.
Running or installing the program from the setup.
IF you download a program and run-install- it, it will be in the temp or tmp file- not temporary internet files. They are different. Most programs- but not all-'clean up after the setup has been run.
On the other hand, the sites that have been visited during the time History has been set for, appear as temporary internet files.
You've gotten some good directions. But I'm not sure what it it is exactly you're wanting to do.
Are you trying to scout out what sites a kid has gone to- sites they may have accessed, for instance?
That's called History and it remains on the computer for as long as you have it set for> or until it has to overwrite due to system limits. It's save with the site address, called the URL.
On the other hand, if you download anything in Firefox, you have put it on your computer> it's not just a URL for the site.
