What you need to do is move your profile directory, which is a directory like xxxxxxxx.default under the directory you've posted.
See here for how to find your profile: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile
Copy the profile folder to your desired destination.
Then, using the Profile Manager, point Firefox at the new profile. Instructions here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder#Using_the_Profile_Manager_to_move_your_profile
Solution
go into
about:config
create new string - browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
and then enter your new cache location i.e. D:\CACHE
