"browser.cache.memory.capacity" seems obsolete.

I want to increase firefox's memory cache.

From the knowledge base, this seems to be the value that should be changed.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.memory.capacity

To verify the change, I checked "about:cache?device=memory".

No matter what the value "browser.cache.memory.capacity" is, under the section "memory",

It shows "Maximum storage size: 28672 KiB".

(the disk cache section shows correct values, btw)

Is there something wrong here?

FF ver, 52.6 ESR, 51, and several other old versions.

Sorry, not sure what works with Firefox 52 ESR. Hopefully someone else will have an answer for you.

Thank you for the reply. Seems that you mean it works fine in latest FF ver or the ver you are using?
