So when I used to use Chrome, I had to clear my cache every few days as it would quickly fill up to the 600+mb limit. When I switched to Firefox, I changed a bunch of my settings to stop this from happening so quickly, but now I have the opposite problem.

After forgetting to clear the cache for ages, I just cleared it and it was 15.7mb. I've cleared it a couple of other times and it was very low back then. Is it autoclearing and I've just caught it when it's low? Or did I change some setting that is stopping stuff from being cached?

I haven't noticed any major performance issues in comparison to Chrome, but I did notice that Twitch shits itself sometimes when tons of emotes are being spammed, so it may be the case that stuff isn't being cached. What do?

I disabled the cache altogether. Don't notice much of a difference.

Do you know of any of the about:config or other settings that I might have tweaked accidentally?

Don't know. Maybe Firefox is less aggressive in caching?
