Hi, I'm using FF for year for development and had several problems with cached data in this time. Now, since the last update (automatic update yesterday), Firefox is caching my js for localhost and ignores nearly everything to stop it.

F5 and Ctrl+F5: no effect Enabling "Disable cache" in devtools: no effect changed about:config (no effect): browser.cache.disk.capacity 0 browser.cache.disk.enable false browser.cache.memory.enable false devtools.cache.disabled true

Only going to settings > privacy + security > Clear Data helps. But as you can imagine, that's really bad DX

I tried a FF-addon for clearing css cache, but it's outdated and doesn't work.

Is there anything I can do, to disable cache for localhost?

I don't understand why this aggressive caching problem is ignored for years and gets worse every year! Why are settings like "Disable cache" in devtools so broken? I tested other browsers and have not found the same issues. I don't want to switch browsers! I just want a cache free localhost! FF can cache the sh*t out of every webpage. But please leave localhost out of it!

I do not store my usernames and passwords in firefox, I use a password manager. I also disable Remember Passwords and "Remember search and form history" For some reason before I unlock my password manager my "user name" from Site A is inputted into Site B's login field...

How?

It should have never been saved by anything in the browser yet it exist somewhere.

I made two alterations in about:config

browser.formfill.enable false browser.formfill.expire_days 1

This stopped it from inserting the username and I'm hoping this will remove the username from wherever it's saved but I want to know what file it was that contains form information?

To the appropriate person I have used the Firefox browser for many years. And will continue to do so. I have been given a challenge. The Firefox browser refreshes the websites several times just as it reopens the page again and again. The mouse pointer chops across the screen. It all started within the last week. Is it a setup error or an update that didn't go as it should? I don't have the same problems with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Kind regards KlausW
