I enabled a 1 GB ramdisk with the Dataram software, assigned NTFS drive letter P: , and changed browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to P:\firefox .

However, after changing browser.cache.disk.capacity to 1000000 Firefox 60.0.1 (64-bit version) reverts the value of that setting to 225280 immediately after a RELOAD button is clicked.

No matter how many times I MODIFY that setting using about:config the value reverts to 225280 .
