as per the question, tried to up the cache from 75meg to 300meg but it resets after i restart firefox, have tried to change to various cache sizes but to no avail.

-=EDIT=- it must be something to do with the profile, as when i set up a new profile in the manager, the cache size problem no longer appears. but now, how to repair my profile

It may be set in a file called user.js in the profile folder, or there may be a problem with the prefs.js file. For details on fixing that see the How to fix preferences that won't save article.

ok, nothing in that text file helped but the original file that it was based on pointed me in the direction that it might be an extension. The only extensions i have are NoScript and FasterFox Lite version....

I have now traced the fault to lie with FasterFox... if you are not familiar with fasterfox it speeds up internet connections in firefox... several of the options are presets... but when i selected custom it gave me the option of a cache setting, which was set to 75megs.

I have now changed that cache setting in fasterfox to 300 Megs and it is now persistant in firefox on restart.

hopefully this information will be helpful to other people in the future that suffer the same problem.

Thanks for your help TonyE, its greatly appreciated
