Since I moved to Firefox 3 I’ve been having issues with how it caches websites that i’m developing. Many times in order to see changes I had made to code I would have to close firefox and re-open it – Very painful when I have many tabs open. My other option was to use Safari to test my sites in and I have no interest in doing that so I thought it’s time to have a look at the Firefox config settings.
To get to the config settings type about:config in the Firefox address bar. Set both browser.cache.memory.capacity and browser.cache.disk.capacity to 0. Alternatively, you can also set browser.cache.disk.enable and browser.cache.memory.enable to False.
Restart Firefox and your pages will load fresh each time. If you have any other tips like this I would love to hear them! Please comment away
