Firefox: Disable cache in Firefox using preferences.
You need to disable two entries in the Firefox preferences to stop local storage of cache. Here’s how:
Type about:config in the Firefox address bar and hit Enter. A warning message will be displayed; you need to accept it to move forward.
Here in the search bar, copy/paste the below-mentioned preferences one by one and turn their value to False.

browser.cache.disk.enable browser.cache.memory.enabl |
Afterward, restart the browser, and Firefox will stop using cache. The first preference mentioned above prevents Firefox from storing cache on the hard disk and the second one stops it from storing cache in the PC memory. This effectively disables the cache.
You can also undo these changes to enable cache again.
