Re: Querying Folder Size with WMI.....and FireFox's Cache?!

The APPDATA environment variable points to the Application Data folder for
the current user, you could expand that with
WScript.Shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings to find the folder
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox. I don't think the user can change this location
so it should be valid for all setups. In that folder there's a PROFILE.INI
that has a Path= statement you can use to complete the path to the cache
folder. Once you have that, you can use FileSystemObject.GetFolder to get
the folder and use its Size property which is the total bytes in the cache,
or look at individual files.

The max size of the cache is in the PREFS.JS file:

user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 25000);

If you don't have a line like that in the file, it appears to default to
50000 KB.
