Cant clear several things in Firefox
Hi, when i try to clear my cache, history, cookies etc in Firefox it wont let me. I keep clicking on clear, to the corresponding item, but i just will not work. Ive tried a fresh install of Firefox and it made no difference whatsoever.
I tried seraching for a thread on this, but got nothing back.

Re: Cant clear several things in Firefox
if you can't do it from the option you could enter about:cache in the address bar and highlight all the items under the line and delette them that way.

Have you tried the 'clear all' option at the bottom of the box?

Re: Cant clear several things in Firefox
working for me very fast, so must be a proxy issue with you or you may need to clear your cache.

It says to be I need internet explore to access the site, and give me the opition to down load it?

Re: Cant clear several things in Firefox
Anyone know which folder FF stores these things in? Simply deleting that folder should fix the problem, if you restart FF it will recreate a new, empty folder. Well, the Mac version does that anyway. 'Fraid I can't tell you how to do it on a PC.

I just did it the way I suggested and it was quite quick, I did notice that my clear button did not react today as quickly as normal.
