Toggle Cache by Site #1

Closed maverick74 closed 3 years ago

hi

Would be great if we could Toggle Cache by Site, so that we could use cache in some sites, but not in others automatically.

Is that (even) possible?

Thanks

No, this is not possible. Maybe with lots of hacking, but as caching is handled deep in the backend of Firefox, I don't actually know if there is a way to block caching per connection.

The whole Add-on is meant for developers who want to disable caching while working on something. For the average user it is more useful to use Firefox built-in features. For example you can hold your shift key while clicking the "Reload" button in Firefox to reload the current page while ignoring all cached content.

@M-Reimer Ok. Thanks anyway.

Shift+F5 it toooooooo technical for some users (don't even ask................................. :(............)

This request is a result of having a problem with a specific website. It probably works just fine in Chrome and has the problem just in Firefox - probably using somekind of chrome-specific tech.

Your addon does solve the problem, however - i just needed it to work just on that specific domain, however.
