I lose my internet connection and when I run the troubleshooter program on my computer, it refers me to the network adapter. This takes me to the Options part of Firefox and I have found that the cache is near 350 MB. Instead of dumping it, the internet connection becomes limited. I have to manually empty the cache in order to regain the internet connection. Any suggestions?

Hello grmapeg, try the Empty Cache Button add-on, it has automatic cache cleaning options (run automatically when cache usage reaches..... %cache size).

thank you

Do you have automatic cache management enabled or have you set a fixed (maximum) size?
