Every browser has a cache preservation. Let us explain in more detail. Let's say you are listening to music in Mozile, viewing photos or watching online videos via. Some of this information is automatically saved by the browser in a special directory. Why is this needed? It's simple: the next time you visit a site that you have visited before, the system does not need to load the images that are already in the cache again. It would seem, why is this necessary in the modern world, where the speed of the Internet allows you to download huge files in a split second? Firstly, broadband Internet access is far from being developed everywhere, and secondly, not every site loads as fast as we would like. In any case, if you wish, you can turn off the automatic saving of files through the browser.
Clearing the cache. The first way
Open your internet browser. At the top of the screen, you will see a menu. Select the section "Tools" - "Options".

Go to the settings again, only instead of the "Additional" tab we find "Privacy".
In the "History" line, select "Will use your history storage settings", and just below put a check mark next to the "Delete history when Firefox is closed" item.
In the right part of the window, the "Parameters" button has become active, which you have to use. Click on it and uncheck the boxes everywhere, except for the "Cash" item. Click OK and save your changes.
Now, every time you close the Firefox browser, the cache will be automatically cleared, and you stop constantly doing manual clearing.
The third way
It is based on the use of special programs that can clear the cache at the same time in all browsers installed on the computer. As an example, we will use a program called, one of the versions of which is distributed completely free of charge.
Install the program, run it and in the "Cleaning" section select "Applications". Uncheck the boxes you don't need (the same must be done on the "Windows" tab), then click the "Analysis" button at the bottom of the screen.
After the analysis is completed, it remains to click on the "Clear" button and the cache will be deleted.
