That is, frankly, a truly useless piece of advice, in general but also 
particularly for the person concerned. Please don't give advice unless 
you know what the person is asking, and know that the advice will help.


Mike: I'm afraid I don't know how to do what you want. You probably need 
to start digging into the interfaces of the cache object, work out if 
you can extract raw data, and then write it to disk with the help of 
perhaps jsLib, which has file I/O functions for extensions.

You can get an nsIFile out of an nsICacheEntryInfo. You could get the 
nsICacheEntryInfo by visiting every cache entry using 
nsICacheService.visitEntries, but there might be a better way.

Matching the image clicked with a cache entry may well be the hard 
thing. Doing the visit may be the only way to find it.

I worked all this out with a little research at XULPlanet ;-)
