In Firefox you can do this by creating a new hidden preference.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Right-click somewhere in the list and select "New > String"
  4. For the name of the preference type browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
  5. For its value type the path to where you want to store the cache, i.e. /Volumes/yourvolume/pathtocache
  6. Next locate the preference browser.cache.disk.enable, it must be set to true, if it is not, double-click on it to change its value
