Why did you make it so ridiculously hard to empty the browser cache? Instead of being able to push a button and empty select items, I have to go into preferences and opt to empty each time I close Firefox??

Seriously, please give us back the easy cache clearing buttons. Thank you.

That is great! And exactly what I was looking for, but it used to be right on the file tab dropdown...why the change? Really weird to find it now.

i think that entry was moved under the history menu (maybe because it better fits there - but i'm not aware of the exact reasons).

Firefox provides many different add-ons that can help users to improve their browsing experience. They can be installed on The Mozilla Add-on Store free of charge.

You can try using the Clear Cache Button add-on.

Thanks! It used to be right there on the tab, no clue why they'd remove such an important tab but thanks for the work around!

The only place I could find (until today) was buried in the preferences>privacy settings and it isn't the usual box that lets you pick to just empty the cache and not all the sign ins when you close Firefox. The command+shift+delete brings the normal window up. Thanks for the quick replies, you all are great!
