How to Remove Temporary Files From Mozilla Firefox

The Mozilla Firefox Web browser provides you with many features to speed up your Internet surfing. One such feature saves temporary Internet files to your hard drive; these files are then accessed by the Web browser to speed up the display of websites you have previously opened. These files take up space on your hard drive and should be periodically cleared from Mozilla Firefox's cache.

1. Open Mozilla Firefox.

2. Click "Tools."

3. Click "Clear Private Data."

4. Check the box marked "Cache."

5. Click on the "Clear Private Data Now" button.

Earlier Firefox Versions

1. Open Firefox. Click "Tools."

2. Click on "Options."

4. Click the button marked "Clear" next to the "Cache" option.
