adjust buffer size

more options

Hi,

In the past I could adjust the buffer size of a website and how much data is being stored. Why is this removed? The most common size was 350 mb.

Now I have to spent time to empty the buffer by hand. I would like to bring it down to 0 mb so I dont have to empty the buffer by hand thru the settings.

Thank you for answering my question.

Firefox should automatically remove files stored in the disk cache if it get filled by too many files. You can check the about:cache page for more detail about the disk cache and memory cache.


This now needs to be done via browser.cache.disk prefs on the about:config page.

  • browser.cache.disk.capacity
  • browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

@Cor-el: Thank you for your quick reaction and solution for this.

A little feedback to Mozilla:

Why does this function exist? To make it more comfortable, i am sure but did you even have permission to store this data?
