    Is there a way of making Firefox cache YouTube videos?

    IE used to do it on my fathers computer but no such luck with FF.

    If I have to reload another 10 minute youTube video i'm gonna neck myself.

    As a quick fix, you could always download the addon that lets you load the page using the IE engine in FF, and your problem is pretty much solved. It's what I do.

    In retrospect, remember that you're using Firefox to get away from IE anyways, so using the IE engine in FF is moot. Might as well just use IE if you're willing to use the IE engine.

    But what has caching youtube videos got to do with browser engines? Isn't it just what they're meant to do?

    Cache things...
