• Can not open in safe mode / clear the cache because firefox is frozen

  I tried to load a page which seems to have had a built-in buggy video ad, and now Firefox is stuck. It stops responding, but when I force quit and reopen it, it opens the offending page, still too and it freezes again. I tried to restart my computer and reinstall Firefox and the problem continues to be. I can't follow the advice I've seen here on open mode without failure or clear my cache, because Firefox crashes before I can do it. I there a way to make these Firefox outdoors? I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 if that matters.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• Some details on caching in firefox

  Basically, I want to have all the cache in RAM instead of my SSD.
  [I have disabled "disk cache", do I have to disable 'hide offline' too?]
  1 setting browser.cache.memory.capacity - 1, I noticed that he was staring at 32768 KB. Would it automatically increased when I look 5 to 10 videos in different tabs so that I can return and transmits video without burffering again?
  2. If it does not automatically increase the size of the memory cache, maybe I put about 2 GB in browser.cache.memory.capacity? Do that woould not book a 2GiB for firefox when running, right?... say, if firefox is running with 500 MB of RAM caching, and only 1.5 GB is on the left, then other programs can use this memory too, no?

  There is also a disk set for the plugins cache. You can take this right click on the video and changing global settings in the Flash Player.

• How to change the default cache for firefox folder?

  I created 4 GB RAM (4 GB of my RAM is now a hard Local drivem who has reading speeds get almost 400MBps) using software Salam ( http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk ). I have installed firefox in this drive to increase its performance. But until I put my cache to this player, I can't do everything more quickly than before. I am a heavy user. I have the following add Add-ons installed that wreak havoc on the speed of firefox.
  1 VideoDownloadHelper
  2 Unmht
  3. built-in Google Calendar
  4 Dashlane password manager 3
  5 progress
  All enabled and latest updates, other that the other 4 disabled add ons.

  So I need to change the cache directory. I tried this solution https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/768867 .
  I went to about: config, browser.cache.disk.enable is true and browser.cache.disk.parent_directory, I can not find.

  Please give me a solution to this. Thank you.

  That preference must be created by the user.

  See this for more information:
  http://KB.mozillazine.org/user.js_file#Adding_user.js_entries

  More precisely, this:
  Move to the parent directory of the directory browser cache
  user_pref ("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory", "D:\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\");

• Is there a way to globally disable the cache of Firefox?

  I run a computer lab with several linux PC (Ubuntu LTS 14.04 / latest version of Firefox). The users homedirectories are located on a file server central and limited by a diskquota. Unfortunately, Firefox takes an important part (if not all) of this quota with its cache. Is there a way to globally disable the cache?

  EDIT:
  Add the following lines to /etc/xul-ext/ubufox.js helped...

  Pref ("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);
  Pref ("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled", false);
  Pref ("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 0);

• Why does take so long to clear the Firefox cache in Firefox 22?

  When I clear the cache, now it takes about 30 seconds. My Mac crashes after clicking "Clean now", and sometimes Firefox will crash.

  If Firefox detects that it crashed, it invalidates the cache and does not use its content. If you clear the cache after an accident also causes an accident - at a time when the cache is very rarely used - files may be damaged. Please see message of cor - el to the subject to physically delete files.

• Where the cache of Firefox videos? (I checked the Cache foler. Isn't there)

  The FireFox' disk cache foler is set to D:\Cache (I put it so in about: config).

  I have cleared the cache disk, watched a YouTube video (almost 2 minutes long), and then looked in D:\Cache. But the video I had seen wasn't there! (I found two. SWF files. But their size was less than 250K. And standalone SWF players couldn't play. Therefore, they cannot be YouTube videos).

  So, where Firefox hide videos?

  I tried several versions of Firefox (4.01, 5.0, 6.01, 7.0b2 and 9.01). Only version 9.01 puts videos on the disk cache.

  Thank you, guys.

• How can I clear the cache in firefox

  I read that it is good to clear the cache from time to time

  Firefox retains the last eight pages in cache to speed up browsing. For example, if you surf to other sites after the closure of one, but then come back later, Firefox that extracted from the cache instead of going to the Web to download.

  If you clear the cache, then that will obviously slow down browsing a bit.

  Empty the cache memory is more a troubleshooting tool really. If a site does not load, then clearing the cache can sometimes help.

  To answer your question though, do the following.

  1. Click on the orange Firefox button, and then click Options. Options | Advanced.
  2. In the network, offline storage menu tab, click the clear now button.

  If this answers your question, please click the button solved next to this post after logging in to the forum. This will help others looking for a solution to the issue.

  Thank you.
