If you want to browse the browser cache, the easiest way is
using the url about:cache

Afaik, the image data is not accessible over scriptable
interfaces (javaxpcom).

Therefore also code such as 'Save Pase As' re-downloads all 
images again. Of course, in most cases it obtains cache hits 
because the page with images was already loaded.
