Max_Entry_Size Prefs‏‏

[Veturius]

Hi everyone, hope you're having a great time!

I've added browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size and browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size prefs in Firefox 6.0 on Windows 7 with Integer value of say 64000 and even -1, but unfortunately nothing happens and the maximum size for cache entries are still 5MB. Do these prefs really work at this time or we need to wait for Firefox 7.0?

Thank you so much for your help!

The max file size is hard coded.

Firefox 3.6:

Code: Select all

#define kMaxDataFileSize   0x4000000   // 64 MiB

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.2/sou ... CacheMap.h
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.2/sou ... Device.cpp

Firefox 4.0:

Code: Select all

#define kMaxDataFileSize   5 * 1024 * 1024  // 5 MB (in bytes)

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla2.0/sourc ... CacheMap.h
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla2.0/sourc ... Device.cpp

In Firefox 3.6, I used a perl script to extract flash videos from the cache.

In Firefox 4.0/5.0/6.0, the file sizes are too small to do this. *cry*

Thanks for your reply, so there's no way to bypass it...

Do you think it'll be the same with Firefox 7.0 or there will be a pref for it?
