There is no API specifically for that.  Each browser creates and
maintains its own cache folder.  Only the browser knows where that is
located.

With that said, you can try using SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() or
similar function to find the user's "Application Data" folder, then
append "Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\Cache" to that, where
"<profile>" is the FireFox profile being used.  Do note, however, that
the cache folder's location is customizable via the
"browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" setting in the browser's
"about:config" page.
