If it’s not updated to the latest version, update the browser. Open a new tab in the browser. In the URL field of the address bar, enter the following – about: config to open the ‘Preferences’ page. Next, search for the following entry ‘browser.cache.disk.capacity’ by entering it in the ‘Search’ bar.
Edit the value to the desired number by clicking the ‘Pencil’ button.
Use the value for the disk cache. Similarly, look for ‘browser.cache.memory.capacity’.
Choose the type of preference you are adding.
