I do a lot of technical browsing and have many tabs open I don't wish to lose. I have been told to clear my cache to totally refresh a photo hosting website (Photobucket) that is no longer working properly. I'm afraid if I do this I'll lose all my open tabs over 4 separate windows, let alone passwords.

No, clearing your cache will not delete the tabs you currently have open.

But just to clarify, in order to ONLY delete your cache, make sure that when you go to the "Cookies and Site Data" section of the Preferences page and click on "Clear Data", you uncheck the "Cookies and Site Data" option leaving only the "Cached Web Content" option checked off.

Also, it sounds like from the troubleshooting instructions you're getting, you will then need to reload all of your open Photobucket tabs after you clear the cache. To do so:

1. right-click on any tab in the tab bar 2. click "select all tabs" 3. click "reload tabs"

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

You can clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"

"Clear the Cache":

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content: Clear

If your tabs are important then best is to bookmark them via "Select All" and "Bookmark Tabs". You need to do this is each window.
