Firefox empowers you to browse faster, more safely and more efficiently than with any other browser. Firefox imports your favorites, settings and other information, so you have nothing to lose.

Find out more about why Firefox is a better solution (and make the switch!) here.

With that said... here's the directions on how to clear your cache on Firefox, Netscape, or Explorer:

Web browsers store some data (and images, etc.) from websites that you visit so that when you revisit, you do not need to download all of the info again, thus making it a quicker visit.

You need to clear your cache when you can't see changes in files you have uploaded because your browser is caching them on your hard disk.

Mozilla Firefox Instructions:

Go to Tools > Options, select Privacy and click the Clear button next to the Cache item in the list.

You can also clear the stored data from your history, saved form information, saved passwords, recently downloaded files, and cookies, each individually so that you do not delete the content that you do want to keep.

Microsoft Internet Explorer Instructions:

Click Tools from the menu bar. Select Internet Options. On the General Tab, usually the default tab, you will see an area labeled Temporary Internet Files. In that section is a button that says Delete Files. Press this button. Press OK on the dialogue window that opens up.

Netscape Navigator Instructions:

Click Edit on the menu bar. Select Preferences. On the left side, double-click Advanced, and the menu should expand underneath it. Click on Cache. On the right side, press the Clear Disk Cache button, followed by the Clear Memory Cache button.
