Contents of the page in firefox after restarting


In my firefox open some tabs. After restarting, tabs re-loaded from the network. How to make their content is loaded from the cache, as in the Opera?


Solution

  • Look for the Work Offline in the File menu. If you have the orange Firefox menu button then you can use Firefox > Web Developer > Work Offline

    You can find the location of the disk cache on the about:cache page.

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

    do not clear the Cache because Firefox will disable the disk cache in such a case 
    
    Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History 
    

    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

    The offline (application) cache is used by other applications to store data and serves a different purpose.
