Can't find "Tools" option when I click the FireFox button; trying to set FireFox to auto clear cache.

more options

Your help info says to click on the FireFox button and "Tools" will appear as an option - then I am to go to Advanced, Privacy, Network, etc. - but "Tools" is nowhere to be found and I can't get anything that seems to let me set FireFox to clear cache automatically when I close the browser.

There is no "Tools" on the Firefox button menu. If you will reply with a link to the help page that says there is a "Tools" item on the Firefox button menu, we will get it corrected.

Either of these will work:

  • Firefox button > Options > Options >Advanced > Network, Offline Storage section > Clear Now
  • Press the ALT key or the F10 key, the Menu Bar temporarily appears, on the Menu Bar click Tools > Options >Advanced > Network, Offline Storage section > Clear Now
