I followed all the instructions I could find, but they all said that under "Preferences" and "Privacy" there would be a "Clear Cache Now" button and there is not. All advice says to do it that way for Mac. Also, I am confused that I have version 5.0 when I am using Leopard. Is that a problem perhaps?

You can see the Firefox version in Firefox > About Mozilla Firefox

You should find it here:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
