Please assist me with these two items.

How do I change the location of the internet cache?

My current profile will not display my Google Calendar unless I use
IETab extension. It does not show it as a separate page or within the
GMail Inbox as a separate frame. I can see it in a different profile,
different browsers.

See if this helps with the cache:

GCal displays fine here. Have you tried launching FF in FF Safe Mode to
see if it works? You might have an add-on preventing it.

I guess you think that not being able to display Google Calendar is
related to the cache? Somehow I doubt that! Have you tried disabling
half of your extensions and restarting FF?

Yes, I have disabled the three add-ons I have and it didn't work. The
test profile has the three add-ons and it works fine.

There are other things involved than just disabling add-ons when
t-shooting w/Safe Mode. I would still try it in the profile that's
acting up, just to be sure.

I must have not made myself clear. All the add-ons were disabled in
the affected profile and it continues to act up. The test profile
works perfectly fine, with or without add-ons. I have three add-ons,
one bookmark manager, one password manager and IETab.

No, the cache question was for something else, entirely unrelated to
this. Regarding the calendar problem, I think it is a setting or
something like that.

And like I said, disabling add-ins is NOT Safe Mode. Did you try Safe
Mode in the affected profile?

My apologies, I missed the Safe Mode reference.

I do not have the icon that would launch Firefox in Safe Mode anymore.
Can someone post the shortcut properties please so I may create a new
shortcut?

Okay, I ran this command line:
""C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode"

Firefox came up in Safe Mode in the affected profile and continued to
choke on Google Calendar.

It's things like this that drive users crazy. Glad a new profile wasn't
a hassle and you are up and running again.

Take care,
