All right, I didn't want to be prolix.  This happens when I try to catch a
streaming video from internet.  On my system, while the video is running from
the web, it is stored in the directory ~/.mozilla/firefox/<garbage>/Cache.
After it's all stored, I collect it from there and `mv' it at my pleasure.
Now, usually when the file reaches 5.5MB, a new file is created in /tmp and the
loading continues there.  So the video gets broken into small pieces that I
have to search for here and there, which is uncomfortable.  That's why I want
to know how to get rid of that limit of 5.5MB.

Thanks for any help
