There's no real fix yet, but I have devised a workaround that should give you what you want.
1.) Find your cache folder. It should be located in "~/.mozilla/firefox/[default user profile]/Cache". The profile folder is different for everyone, so you'll have to search for it. Mine is "1ktu6zff.default". It would be a good idea to make a symbolic link to your cache folder and place it anywhere in your home folder. That way it's easy to access and you won't have to enable hidden folders each time.
2.) Go into the Cache folder, and do a search in nautilus. Just press the spacebar once to add a space to the search, and press enter. Your search should fill up and show you all the files and folders inside your Firefox cache. This appears very similarly to how the Firefox 3 cache worked(all the files were located in one area. Now you can find whatever video/image/flash file you want without hunting through a plethora of folders.
3.) In your Nautilus window, go to File and select "Save Search As". Choose what you want to name it(I chose 'Firefox Cache'), and save it wherever you want. Now all you have to do is double-click on the saved search file to open the search for your cache.
PRO TIP: Optionally, you can just create the XML saved search file yourself.
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<query version="1.0">
<text> </text>
<location>[INSERT CACHE LOCATION HERE]</location>
</query>
This is the only workaround I've found so far.
Hope this helps!
