Cached Web Content automatically getting cleared
My broswser deletes Cached Web Content automatically. Earlier it was happening even when broswer was restarted but it got fixed when I did some tweak from about:config but still, when PC restarts, for the first time, the Cached Web Content is present there but if after few minutes I restart my PC, Cached Web Content shows 0KB i.e. is empty.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See "Creating a profile":

Make sure you not running Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
If you not using Private Browsing Mode
- Tools > Options > Privacy > History>
- Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
- Keep until "They Expire"
- Deselect: [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes"

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Okay, I will do that, sould I also revert the changes which I did in about:config ?
I don't know is this right time to say this or not but looks like Creating-a-new-profile thing is working for me, and thanks for it. The Cached Web Content was present even when I restarted browser, and even when I restarted PC, this was nothing suprise as same was happening earlier too but when I agains shutdown my PC and after 2-3mins restarted it, the Cached Web Content was still present there.
I can only insure that this was the real Fix of the problem I posted after few hours, if it still works, I will post it here and select the Creating-a-new-profile thing as the best answer.
All I need to do now is to shift my bookmarks from old profile to new one. Thanks for the help.
