Warnings

• Deleting your browser's cache is NOT the same as deleting cookies. See How to Clear Your Browser's Cookies for help deleting cookies.

Tips

• If you wish, you can disable the cache entirely in your browser's options panel by choosing the 'do not remember history' option or simply browse incognito. The cache is used to speed up access to websites by loading data from the local memory rather than downloading it, however you probably will not notice a difference from a high-speed internet connection.
• You may also want to clear your browser's cookies.
• You can use Portable Firefox from a USB flash drive, which will store the data (cache, cookies, etc.) on the portable device, rather than your computer's hard drive.
