Hmm...so I've got what seems like a weird situations: my trusty FF 45.9 seemingly stopped using disk cache at some point in time.
Seeing as I would rarely check this, I honestly have no idea when this might have happened.
I have FF configured to automatically control the size of the disk cache, but even if I manually overwrite and force a max value, the count always stays at 0 (zero).
Hmm...indeed, looking at the FF profile directory I only find this:
Directory of G:\HOME\MOZILLA.ORG\USERPROFILES\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\p5gjgk21.Testing
2-27-26 9:11p <DIR> 0 ---- Cache
2-27-26 11:44p <DIR> 0 ---- cache2
2-27-26 12:15p <DIR> 0 ---- OfflineCache
2-27-26 9:11p 1 124 a--- _CACHE_CLEAN_
4 file(s) 1 bytes used
where: 'cache2' is what used to have all the disk cache entries, and it is empty...
HOWEVER'Cache' does seem to have some stuff stored in it, such as:
Directory of G:\HOME\MOZILLA.ORG\USERPROFILES\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\p5gjgk21.Testing\cache

The problem being though: I have never seen 'Cache' being used before, as in none of my periodic FF Profile backups have ever showed it, nor does my FF install appear to be using this in any particular way.
The about:cache page shows the "G:\HOME\MOZILLA.ORG\USERPROFILES\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\p5gjgk21.Testing\cache2" as the proper disk cache location.
Anyways, I played around with changing various settings, the sort of OFF/ON again thing, but nothing seems to make a difference.
I'm curious if anyone has seen this behaviour before?
