Type about:config in the address bar > press Enter

- click 'Accept the risk and continue' if that appears

- search for browser.cache.disk.capacity > lower the value

- search for browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled > change the value to false

- restart FF

To turn off disk caching altogether, set browser.cache.disk.enable to false. I've done this with no noticeable effect. Try it if you have a high-speed connection and don't use a lot of RAM for other apps.
