Are thumbnails saved somewhere?
Hey
I use Slackware 13.1 and browsing with Firefox. When I browse a site, and there are some image thumbnails which I don't open, are these "un-clicked" thumbnails saved somewhere in my computer after I shut down my system? Also, even if I actually click a thumbnail to view the image full-size, is this image saved somewhere (like a temp or something) after I turn off my laptop? Cheers |
Hi -
On Windows, thumbnails are stored in a little, COM/ActiveX-based embedded database called "thumbs.db": http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...ia-windows-api Gnome and KDE desktops have their own (much simpler!) methods for managing thumbnails. But in your case - there's absolutely nothing "magic" about a thumbnail. It's just an image file (.png, .jpg, .png - whatever) that's downloaded, displayed, and saved in the Firefox cache like any other image file: Quote:
I've heard that cache might be encrypted. I don't know whether or not that's true. If so, check out this link: http://jaxov.com/2009/09/how-to-acce...-ubuntu-linux/ |
in firefox they are in the firefox cache
~/.mozilla/( some Random Number).default/Cache unless you set FF to clear it on shutting down the same place it has been for a very long time |
