Hi guys. I think we need to make new cache system for web browsers. Right now firefox is storing everything, even if you see it first and last time. And I think after it firefox is making something with cache to free it. I think store ALL images in cache is a bad idea. Because right now there is a lot of news feeds, social networks news feeds and there news with images, and you see this image only once, after it you forget about this news, but firefox is storing it into cache. My suggesting is to save image only if user sees it 3 times. Or maybe even five. So you see this image 4 times, we will not cache it, but we will save how much time you saw it. 5th time? OK, we will save it into our cache. It's about images. Maybe also this is a good idea about html and js.

What do you think?

Chosen solution

At this time the Optimal Size (default) of the Cache is 350megs. All info gets written over as you get to the default limit. This is in effect more or less the same thing as you are asking.

Your Flash is out of date, new version 3 days ago. https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

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