NU16 will not clear firefox cache when folder is in different drive

Hi I was wondering if someone has come across this issue and could provide me with some guidance...

 

I recently changed my system's boot drive to a SSD for performance reasons.  After doing so I setup my firefox and IE browsers to store cached files on a seprarate conventional magnetic drive to avoid excessive writes and re-writes on my SSD. 

 

When using the brower cache removal funciton in NU16, the tool will succesfully remove the IE cache from my secondary drive, however for Firefox it is still attempting to remove the cache from the original folder that was in the C drive.  NU will not recognise that firefox is storing cached data in an alternate drive.

 

This results in the FIREFOX privacy scan not being effective at all.  I primarily use firefox over IE so I was curious if anyone has heard of any possible tweaks I can make so that the cache clearing functionality of NU will work properly with firefox.

 

Summary:

Im using Win7 64 with NU 16.0.1.7

IE cache folder points to D drive

FF cache folder points to D drive

NU16 removes IE cache from D drive

NU16 does not remove FF cache from D drive.
