My Firefox cache fills up so quickly and until I clear that, I'm getting browsing problems. I don´t know why it's happenning that, but I think that is a FireFox problem.

Is there a warning or an error message?

The default size is 50mb I believe (350mb for me). It is possible to change this, but this is set for performance.

To change this:

  1. Open up the preferences url about:preferences#advanced
  2. Under Network you can change the cache size and restart Firefox.

There are also options to delete history on close or to delete cookies on close in those Privacy settings. Play around to see what works for you.

I'll try to set lower cache sizes. I was getting problems with the default (350) and I tryed with 512 and 1024, but the error was here.
