First of all, why should you even worry about clearing your cache? There are two main reasons:
Reason 1: It frees up space on your computer. After a while, the cache fills up and needs to be cleared so your Web browser will function most efficiently.
Reason 2: It will protect your privacy. This is especially true when several people use the same computer in a workplace or home. If you have privacy concerns, you should regularly clear your cache.
Now, here’s how you can do it:
-
- Open Mozilla Firefox 38.
- Click on Tools button and then choose Options.
- With the Options window now open, click the Privacy tab on the left side.
- In the History area, click the clear your recent history link.
- In the Clear Recent History window, set the Time range to Everything.
- In the list at the bottom of the window, check Cache. (Make sure other boxes are unchecked)
- Click Clear Now button.
