Tips

If you wish, you can disable the cache in the options panel of your browser by choosing not to keep the history or simply browse incognito. The cache is used to speed up access to Web sites by loading data from local memory rather than downloading the data, but you probably will not notice a difference in a high speed Internet connection. You can use Portable Firefox from a USB flash drive, which stores the data (cache, cookies, etc.) to the USB device, rather than on the hard drive of your computer.
