  • Make sure that you not run Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode
  • In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
  • You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed


See Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing

  • You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
  • To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

I'm NOT running Firefox in Privat Browsing mode. by the way, when I launch Firefox from the Terminal using "sudo" everything is working. maybe there is some problem with access?

Are any of the websites you visit even setup to use the offline cache?

There's no problem with Offline cache. The Disk cache is not working until I launch Firefox from super-user. This happened after the last update to version 3.6.9. With previous version there was no problem! Maybe there's some problem with rights?

One more thing about offline cache - there's no such directory it's using (I couldn't found it).
