Thanks much. I did many, many, searches before asking the list.
Don't know if I ever searched bugzilla specifically.
A directory named "cache" gets created in the parent_directory
you specify so I ended up with C:\TMP\CACHE\CACHE. Here's my
final prefs entry.
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", true);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory", "c:\\tmp\\");
I also experimented with directories that don't exist. Looks
like they will be created - even multiple levels.
Thanks again. Now I can put my profile on a network drive
without the cache.
(By the way, tabs are awesome.)

A message to Bush and Ashcroft:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims
may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber
barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons
cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be
satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment
us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own
conscience.
-- C. S. Lewis
