I seem to recall the ability in the past to access an image file
in the disk cache from the media table in the page information,

an image and save it to a file elsewhere, but when I only need
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.

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.
I am aware of where the cache is located, the problem is locating the
particular file in the cache directory structure so that another program
can use it via a "File Open" dialog. Within the Cache directory there
are 16 sub-directories, 0-F, each of which contains 256 sub-directories,
00-FF, within each of which the cached files are stored. The files are
named with 5 hex digits and three additional characters with no extension.
Thus on my system a full file name for a cached file might be:
~/.cache/mozilla/seamonkey/{SALT}.default/Cache/A/32/2D35Fd01
I remember being able to get this data somewhere at one point, either
from a pop-up menu on an image or from the data in the view>Page Info
data somewhere. Unfortunately either things have changed or my memory
is faulty.
