How to clear cache and cookies of individual sites in Mozilla Firefox browser

Consider how to remove cache and cookies of one or more specific siteswithout affecting the settings of other sites.

Hello People I hope you are in a good mood, and everything is fine and for complete happiness you only need to know how to clear the cache and cookies in the Mozilla Firefox browser. Now, that is, in 2016, Mozilla still holds a decent share of users. Although Google Chrome has now somehow lured most users to it ... Although in reality, it seems to me, Mozilla loads pages faster than Chrome ..

Chrome has a decent jamb, which is also a decent plus. This is what he creates his own process for each tab, as a result, how many tabs you have, then so many processes in the dispatcher. This can lead to decent brakes, and even freezes, if you have little RAM. Here Mozilla certainly steers, for she has only one process, for which the truth is sometimes criticized that she is supposedly unable to cope with a large number of tabs, unlike Chrome. But I did not notice this, however, everyone has a different concept of a large number of open tabs ...

So far I am FOR Mozilla: the computer does not load, it works quickly, there is only one process (if other processes can be cut down from Mozilla).

So how to clear the cache in Mozilla Firefox and delete cookies at the same time? First things first.

First, I'll show you how to clear the cache in Mozilla. So we open the browser and select Settings in the menu:

Then select the Network tab, on which there are cache settings, including clearing it:


Here is what I recommend here? If you have fast internet, you can specify that 0 mb of disk space is used, so you disable the cache. If the Internet is slow, it is better to put 1024 MB. If there is not enough disk space (the cache is stored there), then put 128 mb. This is what I recommend, you can supply any amount at all ..

In general, you can not put a tick and let Mozila herself command there about the cache ...

Well, it seems to have figured out the cache.

Now about how to delete cookies. To delete cookies, in the same settings we go to the Privacy tab:


Now look, such a window will pop up in order to delete ALL cookies, then click Delete All:


After removal, you should have everything empty in the window:


But keep in mind that after this all the site where you were authorized, then all of them will need to enter the username and password again. As you can see, you can delete certain cookies. For example, write some website there, press enter and you will be shown cookies only from the specified site. Then you can select all of them and click the Delete Selected button to clear the cookies for a particular site.
