If you upgrade to Mozilla, then you'll have a pref in Advanced->Cache
which selects your cachedirectory. Alternatively you can try
// To set you cache directory to something other than the default which
is <profile-dir>/cache.
// Mozilla creates the cache directory so your path should be to the
parent directory.
// e.g.
// Windows - "C:\\TMP" -> Mozilla will create and use C:\Tmp\Cache
// *nix - "/tmp" -> Mozilla will create and use /tmp/cache
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", true);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory", "<your-path>");
in your user.js but I'm not sure if it works in NS6.2.1
Pratik.
