You could also set the max space for temp files to 0 in that case. But maybe you would still like some temporary internet files?

you could create an application which would run silently
in the background when you logon, and when being called to
terminate itself by windows, code it to delete the content of the
firefox temp folder..

it's easy doable in autoplay media studio...

Make a simple dos batch that deletes the files in the directory. Then accosiate the batch to your desired user account as a logout script..In XP it can be done via "lusrmgr.msc" as "Local Users and Groups" -management console.

Better yet make it an extension for firefox :)

FIrefox's options have cache, history, temp files, downloaded files etc etc all stored. You could create an extension that runs with firefox and says, upon exit, clear all.

Id do it if I knew where to start.
