the file for immediate use this requires me to take action to
delete this file when I am done with it.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?  How can I access an image file
without needing to save it outside the cache for one-time-use
situations?

If I understand your question, Go->History .
I just tried it. Also found that using History's search box entering
"jpg" [without quotes] displayed only images in jpg format.

does about:cache help you find what you want?

Not that I see.  I see the image file in the cache, but I don't see the
file name.  I only see the "key" which is what seems to copy/paste as
well and is a URI.

Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Cache > Cache Folder Location should show where the cache is stored; it may be in a subdirectory named Cache or cache2 depending on the version of SeaMonkey. I'm not sure that the original files are cached on disk exactly as downloaded. Looking at a few files under cache2, it looks like there's extra data appended to the end of each. That probably makes the file invalid as (for example) a JPEG file, so even if you could find the relevant file in the cache it probably wouldn't open with other applications anyway.

Files may once have been stored in the cache exactly as downloaded, but I'd guess the extra data allows some improvement in performance.
