In the location bar, type about:config and hit enter
Right-click in the white-space, and choose New->String. Enter the name browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and click ok.
In the next box, enter the full patch to the directory you want to store your cache in. Something like "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local SettingsApplication DataMozillaFirefoxCache"
Close Firefox.
Delete your old cache directories in C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication

Restart Firefox. It will create the directory specified above, if it doesn't already exist.

This same technique can be used to move your cache to a larger or faster disk.
