Clearing the cache from Firefox is often necessary to solve certain web page and browser problems that sometimes occur.<\/p>\n
The cache in Firefox contains locally saved copies of recent web pages you’ve visited. This is done so that the next time you visit the page, Firefox can load it from your saved copy which will be much faster than loading it from the Internet.<\/p>\n
Clearing the cache in Firefox is completely safe and should not remove any important data from your computer.<\/p>\n
