Difference between disk.cache.memory.capacity and browser.cache.memory.capacity

Difference between disk.cache.memory.capacity and browser.cache.memory.capacity

Chosen solution

Firefox only has browser.cache.* prefs. If you have prefs like disk.cache.memory.capacity then they may have been added by an extension if you didn't do this yourself.

If the pref is user set (bold) then you can right-click this pref and choose Reset to remove the pref.

See also the comments in the Firefox source code about the browser.cache prefs.
