Clear/Delete Mozilla Firefox Version 76 Browser Cache (Recent History)

The Mozilla Firefox software is one of the most used browsers on personal computers and mobile devices which is based on the Gecko layout engine to render webpages, it is free and open-source developed by the Mozilla Foundation. Browser software downloads bits and pieces of the webpages that you access to render them in the screen for viewing. These bits and pieces of the webpages are traditionally called temporary internet files or browser cache that accumulate on the hard drive overtime. It is recommended to erase the browser cache from time to time to free up hard drive space and for privacy and security reasons. It is also the primary troubleshooting step when having problems opening webpages such as seeing outdated content, slowness, or freezing.
