    I wish I had a PC with much greater specs. I just have 40 gig hard drive and I don’t have plans f upgrading it and I only have about a gig left. Changing my cache size would be futile >.<

    I guess people are expecting faster website loading and such…… well, having a bigger cache only allow you to cache more webpages, doesn’t mean caching will help you load the page faster………..or something like that…

    Hi, if i type “about:config” and add a “browser.cache.memory.capacity”, then set the value to a very large value, will it helps? I try on my own PC, seems like working well…
