Firefox - Viewing/Erasing The Cache

[astral]

If you are one of the 31% of users now using Mozilla you might want to have a look in the cache to see what is there.

The easiest way to type about:cache on the address line and hit enter.

You will get a summary of the size and number of entries in both disk and memory cache.

You can expand these to see the details of each entry - url, size, modifications expiry date and fetch count.

Two more clicks will retrieve the item for viewing the browser, so you can see exactly what you kids have been up to.

To clear the cache select Tools at the top of the page,

run down the list to Clear Private Data

Personally I would like to see a way of clearing the cache automatically on exit?

Does anyone know how to do that?

I found the parameter for clearing cache on exit after some more research.

about:config

Scroll down to

privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown

Select and right click. Toggle the value to be True.

On mine, though maybe this is from an add-in(?), I can select Tools->Options->Privacy->Check Box for Always clear my Private data when I close Firefox.

Also can clear at any time using Ctrl+Shift+Del
