Happy New Year!
I'm running Cross-Platform Firefox 1.5 (and Thunderbird!) on my flash drive and it runs super in either Mac or PC mode, but it doesn't, by design, keep the cache out of security reasons. I feel confident enough that I can watch out for my drive, so is there a way to alter the config files and enable the cache in the flash drive?
Thanks for any suggestions and Happy New Year!

Well of Course there's a way
Okay...
Go To Tools --> Options
Hit the Privacy Tab
From there... hit the Cache tab ( I know, a tab in a tab
)
Change the "Use up to ___ MB of space for cache" to whatever you want.
I think the max value is "10000000000000000" (with commas "10,000,000,000,000,000") That's... a lot of gigs

No go. Been there done that. Also F 1.5's tag boxes are diff too. Thanks anyway!

I don't have FF1.5 to check for its config preference names, if they are different than in FF3, so probably shouldn't reply.
Anyway, what you wish for, should be possible to do via config editor. In FF3 (using filter: cache) you'd look primarily for the two following entries: browser.cache.disk.enable and browser.cache.disk.capacity, to play with.
I hope the suggestion will help. And, Happy New Year, too.
Added by Edit:
As a side note, since you use a flash drive, you should know that the disk cache has been disabled not "out of security reasons", but, actually, to improve performance and increase disk life.
browser.cache.disk.enable is set to "true" by default.
But by default browser.cache.disk.capacity is set to 0 by default.
My directions change the 0 to anything the user wants.
Okay, so if that really doesn't work for you...
Why not try this add-on?

It doesn't store cache but downloads all images and other content to whatever folder you like.
