According to my settings, Firefox should clear the cache completely. Bur it is never fully cleared, there are always about. 9.3 MB left at the temporary data. It should be 0 MB. Even clearing the cache "manually" does not clear it completely. HOW CAN I CLEAR MY CACHE COMPLETELY? (Firefox / Windows 11)
