Instructions

Things You'll Need:

 Computer (PC or MAC)
 Firefox web browser (version 2.0 or higher)

1. 1

Find where your Firefox’s cache directory is. You can do this by typing “about:cache”
into Firefox’s address bar.

2. 2

Firefox will display a new page called “Information about the Cache Service.” Under the
heading “Disk cache device” look for the “Cache Directory.” The directory listing will
likely be quite long.

3. 3

Navigate to the directory. You can do this on a PC by highlighting the directory with
your mouse cursor then pressing Ctrl+C or right-clicking your mouse to copy the text.
Next open the START menu and select RUN. Paste the directory into the dialogue box
and click OK. On a Mac, open a Finder window and navigate to the directory by
following the path listed.

4. 4

Once you are in the cache directory make sure that the window is set to display file sizes
and the modified dates of files (so that you can see the dates/times that files were added
to the directory). In Windows you can change to this setting by right-clicking in the
window and selecting View then Details. On a Mac you can do this by switching the
Finder window to List View mode.

5. 5

Leave the cache directory open. Now navigate your Firefox web browser to a website
that streams mp3 music. Start listening to a song and let it load completely. Once the
song has finished loading wait a few minutes then go back to your cache directory and
refresh it (right-click then select Refresh on a PC or select View then Refresh in the
Finder window on a Mac).

6. 6
 Look for the most recent files and find one that would be about the size of your song this
will usually be in the range of 2MB to 7MB depending on the length of the song. The file
name will look like jibberish but this is the file you want.

7. 7

Select the file then drag it onto your desktop. Rename the file and give it the extension
“.mp3.” You can do this on a PC by selecting the file, right-clicking on it, and selecting
rename, or by selecting the file and pressing the Enter key on a Mac. Once you’re done
the file name should be something along the lines of: “Songname.mp3”

8. 8

Now put the file in your .mp3 player software and you’ve got your own copy of the song
you were streaming.
