Clearing your Firefox browser cache is a simple process that can resolve various browsing issues. Here's how to do it:
Steps to Clear Firefox Cache
-
Open the Menu: Click the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner of the Firefox window to open the menu panel.
-
Access History: Click on "History" in the menu panel.
-
Choose Clear Recent History: Select "Clear Recent History…" from the History menu. This will open the "Clear Recent History" dialog box.
-
Set Time Range: In the "Clear Recent History" dialog box, next to "Time range to clear," choose "Everything" from the drop-down menu. This ensures you clear the entire cache.

Clearing your cache can improve browser performance, resolve website display issues, and enhance privacy.
