Firefox is a popular web browser and one of the most popular browsers in use today. It has a lot of features and it’s easy to use. One of the features that Firefox has is the ability to cache pages and files. This means that you can access pages and files more quickly. To cache pages or files in Firefox, you first need to open Firefox and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. This will open a menu where you can select “Cache.” In the Cache section, you will see a list of all your current caches. You can either select one of these caches or create a new cache if you don’t have any existing caches. If you select one of your current caches, Firefox will start caching your pages and files immediately. If you create a new cache, Firefox will ask you for some information about how to set up your new cache. After you have answered these questions, Firefox will create your newcache and save it to your computer’s hard drive.
Note: CacheViewer is a front-end app for easily accessing and searching the memory cache.
Before
Viewing the cache in Firefox using “about:cache” provides some information about the contents but may not be the most efficient method available for some people.
CacheViewer in Action
Once you have installed the extension there are three easy ways to access your new cache viewer. The first is using the “CacheViewer Command” available in the “Tools Menu” and the second is using the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + Shift + C”.
The third way is by adding a “Toolbar Button” to your browser’s UI. All three work equally well…choose the method that best suits your personal needs.
When you access the “CacheViewer Window” this is what it will look like. You may decide to resize it and move (or hide) some of the columns for the best viewing. You can easily scroll through the cache contents and preview images if desired as shown here.
If you keep the “CacheViewer Window” open you can refresh it as you browse using the “Refresh Button” in the lower right corner. This is a nice, quick, and very simple way to access the cache on demand and save items to your hard-drive if desired.
Note: The “CacheViewer” can also be set to open in a new tab instead (see “Options”).
Options
Choose whether “CacheViewer” opens in a separate window (default) or in a new tab.
Conclusion
If you want a quick and simple way to view the cache in Firefox then the CacheViewer extension is just what you have been looking for.
