Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to find out the original name of a file in your browser cache ( I use firefox). I took a look in the cache but they look all like random names and with no extension.
How do I find out what is jpg, png, mp4, gif, flv etc?
%LocalAppData%\Mozilla\firefox\Profiles\x8sle5pa.default-1559210697955\cache2\entries
The folder after "Profiles" is different for everybody I guess.
I just looked at mine. They are all type "file", like yours, and when opened in Notepad are basically hex gibberish. Not sure you can filter out .jpg, etc.
Firefox won't tell you the file types or extensions.
But if you have a Linux emulator you can use the standard "file" command to determine file type.
Here's a sample:
Code:00037BD7DE43AA708EE9FF2D18C84BC7BE310D73: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.02, aspect ratio ... 0006415147F25A79A6B8E44FADA515FF7B4E938F: gzip compressed data, from Unix 0010343354DBEA0B8BE043636D511C085F443DFC: gzip compressed data, last modified: Thu Mar 19 21:21:21 2020 ... 001979CEE525BEC9D4403F4C17C11D2E8D63D79F: gzip compressed data, max speed, from FAT filesystem ... 001C973AF64A53E3B3D3BE6BBFD7C7C9334BE165: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.02, aspect ratio, density ... 001E842CDEDC234303DCCC587BA14C7C66F73407: data
@margrave55, Thanks, I guess Windows 10 ships with some tipe of linux terminal simulator I could try that.
@Callender Thanks, that about:cache part would be more helpful If you could sort it by date or something.
NirSoft makes a utility that does the job: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mozilla_cache_viewer.html
