Cache is information that is stored in the browser's memory and contains information about the actions that you performed on the pages of sites. For example, you may have seen that the pages you viewed in the search engines take on a different color. The cache needs to be cleaned periodically to avoid clogging up the system.
Instructions
Step 1
To understand how to clear the cache in Mozil, open your browser settings. Depending on the version, the location and name of the buttons may differ. Below we will consider the actions that are relevant for version 37.0.1. In the upper right corner, find the button with three horizontal parallel lines. There, select the "Settings" section (the gear icon). Then find the "Privacy" section in the top menu and click on it. Click "Delete my recent history" and wait for the program to complete the operation.
Step 2
The second way is a little easier. Use the key combination Ctrl + H to open the history menu. A small window will appear in front of you, in which there will be several drop-down lists indicating the period of history. For example, the name of the month or "Last week". Click on the required list with the right mouse button and select "Delete". Please note that if you delete the history for the last month, the data for today will also disappear.
Step 3
You can understand how to clear the cache in Mozil more professionally with the help of personalized settings. First, you can set the frequency of saving and clearing information with the "Privacy" settings. Secondly, you can remove individual pages or other elements of the visit using the "History" tab. Third, you can delete individual cookies using the tool available in the Privacy menu.
Step 4
If you want to make sure that the software has indeed deleted the entire cache, open My Computer, select the drive where the system files are stored (usually drive C), and then open the Documents and Setting folder. Find the username you are currently using, and in it the Local Setting folder. As a rule, it contains a huge number of files, among which you need to find Temporary Internet Files. Open it and see what data is left in the cache.
