My cache is completely empty. Caching has always been on. I haven't cleared my cache in the last few weeks. I search the cache for 'hidden' URIs; for example, I want to download an swf or mp3 file that the website doesn't expose but plays through a client, such as Shockwave. I used to search the cache. I tried it recently but when I went to look the cache was empty; it still is a day later. Hmm... I just looked again, now there's index.sqlite, but nothing else.

Is Firefox configured to use the new cache2?

Do you see the disk cache section on the about:cache page?

Can you attach a screenshot of the about:cache page?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • do not clear the Cache (Firefox will disable the disk cache in this case, see about:cache)

Hmmmm... it seems that Firefox moved its cache from $HOME/.mozilla/... to $HOME/.cache/... without telling me.

Thanks for your help.
