    I want to find a picture that I saw a week or so ago on photobucket, but unfortunately, the photo itself was removed. I was curious if there's any way I could find it in the temp files?

    You have two ways, but first of all go to settings and make sure to increase your cache size so that while you're browsing the web nothing gets overwritten.

    Option 1: type without quotes into the address bar "about:cache" and try to find the image via disk entries.

    Option 2: install this addon.

    Hope this helps!! Good luck!

    1. Doesn't work because I can't see the actual picture. The picture has been removed from the website, but I'm sure it was stored as a temp file somewhere...

    2. Don't know how to use it...

    You just install that add-on and then go to Tools>Cache Viewer then you can browse through them. Works great, nice find by dtd00d.

    Go here:
    about:cache?device=disk

    and then click on a key to see the temp file.
    As atbnet said, once the addon is installed just go to the Tools menu to use it.


    @atbnet: Thanks! :)
