bvc Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) I've recently switched back to dialup...and I know and understand that there is not much sympathy for us poor people but...why can't firefox keep a cache? Even when I had excellent broadband this drove me nuts, just because of principle, but now that I'm dialup?...I'm not using this junk anymore. Crashed>new cache. OK I understand that, I guess...but it is doing it when it doesn't crash. Yes, I have tried to backup the cache and restore it after a crash but it will not read from a bkup cache...what kind of stupidity is that? Anyone know a fix? ....meanwhile>Epiphany Edited September 9, 2005 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I don't seem to have the problem with the cache, unless it crashes of course. Seems a little weird. What version you running? Did you remove ~/.mozilla before a reinstall? Was your current version an upgrade to an existing version, or clean install? I'm using MDK 10.1 OE, but I downloaded from Mozilla direct, rather than use the MDK rpm's for installing and upgrading later. Not sure if that helps any!

daniewicz Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I have noticed my 100MB Firefox cache will occasionally empty itself without my consent. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I spent 30 minutes or so searching the MozillaZine forum for an answer, but I didn't find one and I need a rest The answer may be buried in this forum somewhere......

I have Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050822 Firefox/1.0.6 (Ubuntu package 1.0.6) but I've also tried the firefox tarball.
