Hi jrjj, how are you?

look, to delete temporary files in Firefox you have to do this:

go to Tools > Clear Recent History

and a popup window will appear, you'll have to select the time range that you want to clear, and the clic in clear now

or, in any firefox windows press Ctrl+Shift+Del, and the popup window will appear!
