Any time, glad to help.
The hard part is always finding the path to the cache file, which is often confusing if you don't normally deal with that kind of stuff. Now that you have one working for Firefox, you can easily find the proper cache path for Chrome and its derivatives (i.e. Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, etc) if you prefer to use a Chromium-based browser. Just keep in mind that only one browser cache can be active at a time in FFF (you can have multiple browser_cache_path statements for different browsers in Personal.ini, but all but the one for the browser you are actually using needs to be commented out with a # in front of that line -- doing this does make it easy to switch between browsers with a quick edit of Personal.ini, though).
If you look at the path statement you found for Firefox, they will be the same for both Firefox-based and Chrome-based browsers in Windows up through the
\AppData\Local\ part.
For each of the following browsers, to get its complete cache path simply replace the part of the working path statement directly after
\AppData\Local\ with the following:
Google Chrome:
Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache
Microsoft Edge:
Edge\User Data\Default\Cache
Vivaldi:
Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Cache
You see the pattern here for Chromium-based browsers, I'm sure. I don't have Opera installed, but I'm sure it follows the same pattern.
For all Firefox-based browsers, you can just continue to use
about:cache in the browser URL bar to directly copy its cache path.
