I no longer have access to the line that usually appears in the "OFFLINE STORAGE" section of the NETWORK tab under the ADVANCED icon of the OPTIONS setting under "TOOLS". I am using Firefox 5 & have never had this problem before. Only the CLEAR button shows up on the right hand side but the usual line showing the amount of cache being used on the left of the button does not appear.
