Firefox cache size

[metalmackey]

Is there a way to limit the cache in FF? After a week or so it takes up a few gigs on the SSD according to Ccleaner.

Thanks

Firefox - Use memory cache instead of disk cache

Description: If you use Firefox, there's a way to write cached files to RAM instead of the hard disk. This is not only faster, but will significantly reduce writes to the SSD while using the browser.

Instructions: Open Firefox -> Type about:config into the address bar -> Enter -> double-click browser.cache.disk.enable to set the value to False -> Right-Click anywhere -> New -> Integer -> Preference Name "browser.cache.memory.capacity" -> value memory size in KB. Enter 32768 for 32MB, 65536 for 64MB, 131072 for 128MB, etc. -> restart Firefox

Note: If you're going to install RAM Disk on your computer you can change the Firefox cache location to the RAM Drive.
Please, see the section below called --=[ RAM Disk ]=-- for the instruction.

Why aren't you running CCleaner every night before you log off? Also, you should have Private Browsing switched on permanently as far less data is cached that way.
