Hello, I don't think you can disable cache for specific websites. To entirely disable caching:

  1. type in the address bar about:config
  2. then press the button I'll be careful I promise
  3. then type in the bar browser.cache.disk.enable
  4. then double click on it, to make it false
  5. exit firefox and restart it.

Not possible. Do a google search using Firefox cache Extensions. Keep changing add/remove words to your search. Someone probably wants what you do.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
