I have noticed today that cache viewer has stopped working, I checked the about:config browser.cache.use_new_backend_temp = false is set but i still cannot view cache offline. Have you any ideas how to resolve this please ?

As before I tried cache viewer 2 but it keeps freezing and is slow so it does not really help

Try o clear the Cache.

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

You can find the location of the disk cache on the about:cache page.
