well, all of these features are located in the same general area.To view the history, it is rather simple, you go to History (Next to View, and bookmarks) and there is a short list of your history, and if you want a longer one you can click Show All History.To view all of the cookies that you have gone through, you go to Tools (Next to bookmarks and Help), and go down to options.Once at options, you look for the privacy tab up at the top (Next to Applications and Security).Once you're there, the second box down shows cookie information, and a button to 'Show Cookies', clicking that will pop up a list.As for viewing temporary internet files, i am not 100 % sure if you can do that within Firefox itself or at all.*edit*Just googled it, and it appears that if you go to Start->Run and type in/copy and paste C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4krz7144.default\CacheIf that doesn't work for you, you can view the actually directory location by opening a new Firefox window/tab and typing in about:cache and looking for the path file.Just on a side note, you can also view your saved passwords by going to Tools->Options->SecurityOnce in that tab, Look for the button, 'Saved Passwords'

Good answer, but I think it should be pointed out that each user has a different ".default" setting in Firefox.

This allows you to have several Profiles.

 

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{this changes}.default\Cache

Replying to tinoymalayilI know it's a bit late now, but you could simply type "about:cache" without the quotes into the firefox browser and your cache page should show up. Copy and paste the cache link into any open window. The link should look similar to C:Documents and Settings*****Local SettingsApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles*******Cache

Open your Firefox and type "about:cache" and it will give you the directories and list of the cached and temporary files that was saved on your computer.
