Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 14180340, 6 years agoI've had a terrible time with hard drive fragmentation, and Firefox eliminated the size of its cache-size adjustment. Out of the box, the cache is 1 gigabyte!! (Allegedly, you can go into about:config and reduce that to 250 MB.) After a couple of hours of browsing, I've been getting 4000 fragmented files and 20,000 fragments. C'mon Firefox; have a heart.
But after clicking Clear Cache, the number of fragmented files drops to 200!
This Clear Cache add-on gives you a choice between clicking and getting a "notification" pop-up to confirm that the cache was cleared, or clicking and getting no notification. I think you need a notification to confirm the action occurred. But there should be an option to have the pop-up disappear after a few seconds, instead of requiring the user to click a tiny x in the corner of the notification each time. That would cut the number of clicks necessary by 50%.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Eric, 3 months agoDoes exactly what it says it does! Almost too well, though -- it would be *AWESOME* if there was an option (enabled by default) that gives a little "Are you sure? All these things will be cleared:" prompt before actually clearing the cache, though. I've accidentally clicked on it when I had dozens of authenticated sessions open and it's a bit of an annoyance to have to go back through them all and log back in. Overall, though, it's exactly what I need for troubleshooting and development work, so highly recommended!
