How do I get a cached version of a website when I click the back button?
In earlier versions of Firefox when I'd click the back button I would get a cached version of the webpage I was going back to. Now, with the newer versions I get a reloaded, or updated page. Is it possible to change it back to a cached version? Thanks.

Try this setting in about:config: browser.cache.check_doc_frequency -> 2 That means that the content of the cache will be used rather than the online page. When you need to reload a fresh copy of a page, holding down Shift and pressing the reload button will bypass the cache.
You can check on the about:cache page via the location/address bar if the disk cache is enabled and working.

So try changing the value to 2?

Everything seems to be copacetic. I did bump up the maximum storage size, don't know if this will help. thanks.
Change the value of browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 2. That means "never".

Note that websites can instruct Firefox not to cache their pages. If pages are generated via JavaScript (AJAX) then it likely won't work as well.

One can at least try, and it serves to conserve bandwidth as well as speeding things up if it works.
