Details

Title says it all here: if I have ~/.mozilla/profile/, but no Cache/ subdirectory, it never gets created and nothing is cached on disk between sessions. Using 052208.
WORKSFORME, same OS, same build. mine is created with profiles, and regenerated if i rm -rf it. someone else filed a bug report of their Cache directory not being recreated when they rm -rf'd it, but I believe that was resolved WORKSFORME as well. Decklin: try with a new profile? (mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-old) perhaps something, somewhere, is making mozilla think the user doesn't want cache?

I am now experiancing this, Linux 2000/05/27/08. Uping severity, as this completly disables disk cache, and many users won't even know. rm -rf'ing the cache directory is a common thing done by UNIX'ers, or at least this one... why dig through the pref menus, and trust them to clean everything out, when an rm -rf is gaurunteed to do it, and alot quicker. Workaround is to mkdir ~/.mozilla/default/Cache and restart Mozilla.
Severity: normal → major
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
This happens on windows too. If I manually delete the Cache directory, it is not created on reruns.
reassigning.

Seems to be fixed in 060620 Linux, but there's some breakage elsewhere in this build so I can't test it fully.
Scratch that. seeems to still be broken in 2000060708.
