I need the old cache system with strict alphabetical filter, not the "intelligent" one. Is it possible to have it on this new version of Firefox ? Thanks.
Hi, is it possible to have a strict alphabetical filter for the cache suggestions in fields (like with the previous version) instead of the new "intelligent" system? For example, if I type "fire dr", I only want suggestions "fire dragon" or "fire drake" but not "dragon fire" or "dread fire". Thanks!

Every time Firefox opened

Hello Barome.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at getfirefox.com.
As for your question, if you want a different system to access your cache (about:cache in the location bar), you will need to look for an extension: http://addons.mozilla.org/
I recommend CacheViewer.
Hi Morbus, thanks for your answer. First I must say that my question was in fact concerning Firefox 3.6.3. I updated my Firefox 3.0.19 to 3.6.3 and that's why I had this problem. But I also kept my 3.0.19 version and use it when I need the alphabetic field cache recognition (to play an online game in which you must be the first to recognize a picture and type its name in a field). I launched 3.6.3 and install the cache utility you recommend, but unfortunately it's not the function I need. My question doesn't concern URL cache but field cache, and I don't need a soft that opens a new window. I just would like to get the old alphabetic cache so the options are more restricted when I type, so I gain a little time. With the "new" cache, I have to type the whole name so the cache is not useful anymore. Sorry, I don't know if I make myself clear...
I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this... :(
Do you mean the suggestions with input on web pages? --- http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=790815&p=8823995#p8823995
Hi cor-el, yes, thanks, that's exactly my problem (and now I know how to put the english words on it: form autofill). As suggested in the forum page you refer to, I set browser.formfill.bucketSize to 99999999 in about:config, now the results are in alphabetical order but it didn't restore the strict alphabetical criteria. I also tried to raise the prefixWeight value, but it didn't work either. But it seems other people had this problem and that there's no solution yet. I hope this will be fixed in a following update of Firefox! Anyway, thanks to you both for your answers.
You're welcome.
the new version is buggy in my opinion-especially for addons
