Basically, no.

But cached files are temporary anyway, since Firefox can only retain so many and then will discard them and load the page fresh from the server. What are you looking for?

I have some very important keywords stored in a cache of Firefox so I want to restore those keywords. I am using a software for recruiting where these keywords are required. I want to restore these keywords as they are very very important to me.

I don't understand what you mean by "keywords" being in the cache.

For example, let's say you open a page. Firefox create an entry for the page in history, and if the page stores cookies, it saves those cookies. Then -- unless the server instructs it not to -- it saves a copy of the page in the cache, along with other files used by the page such as style sheets, scripts, and images. (The cache doesn't contain data you entered into web forms, only the content that the server sent to you.)

Are you looking for web pages you previously viewed? After clearing the cache, those old copies are not available, but if you did not clear your history, you would be able to go back to those pages and load them again.

I am simply talking about data entered in the webforms. I want that.

Once you close out of a tab, and the tab is no longer on the History menu as a tab you can re-open, the form data is gone.
