Google Chrome and Firefox cache in Ubuntu?
Where can I find the cache used by Google Chrome and Firefox in Ubuntu?
Google Chrome
- Config path:
~/.config/google-chrome
- Cache:
~/.cache/google-chrome
The location has changed in recent versions of Firefox.
-
Firefox before 21:
~/.mozilla/firefox/[profile]/Cache
-
For Firefox 21 or later, The location has moved to:
~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/[profile]/Cache
Where [profile]
is like a_random_string.default
(any folder name which ends in .default
, if you are using the default profile, separate profiles can have different folder names).
See bug report which brings the change: Bug 239254 - [Linux] Support disk cache on a local path
Normally in Ubuntu the cache folder for Firefox is located in:
~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/Cache
<profile>
= a_random_string.default
(any folder name which ends in .default
, if you are using default profile, separate profile can have different folder names).
