Is there a Firefox keyboard shortcut to clear the cache?

FirefoxVimperator

Firefox Problem Overview

With the Firefox web developer toolbar I can select "Miscellaneous → Clear private data → Cache". Is there a way to do the same with a keyboard shortcut?

Edit: I am also using vimperator to drive Firefox with the keyboard; just found out that it's possible using: :emenu Extra.Web Developer.Miscellaneous.Clear Private Data.Cache.

Solution 1 - Firefox

I think Ctrl+Shift+Delete takes out all private data, including the cache. Heres a link that'll tell you how to set up specific options.

Solution 2 - Firefox

You can also reload and clear cache for a certain page with

Cmd + Shift + R

on a mac, or

Ctrl + F5

on a windows/linux machine.

(these are additions to the plain reload shortcuts Cmd+R / F5)

Solution 3 - Firefox

I use the web developer add-on to totally disable my cache on my development machine. That way you never have to worry about clearing your cache.

Solution 4 - Firefox

In Firefox is

CTRL + SHIFT + R

Source

Solution 5 - Firefox

I guess

Ctrl + Shift + Delete

is not what you want?

Solution 6 - Firefox

For Mac OSX it is

Command + Shift + Delete

for all browsers (except Safari)

Solution 7 - Firefox

You can try this combination:

ctrl + F5

Solution 8 - Firefox

What I do is go to

Tools > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies

then just keep the Show Cookies window open.

It stays minimized while on your web page so you just have to hit

Maximize > Remove All cookies
