The cache is disabled.

Post by Diamanti »

I'm not able to use disk cache with FF 11 in WinXP.
I obtain "The cache is disabled." in Information about the Cache Service.
Why?!?
This is my config:
user_pref("network.http.use-cache", true);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 5000);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", true);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 25000); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory","c:\\ff");
user_pref("browser.cache.check_doc_frequency", 3);
user_pref("browser.cache.compression_level", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size", 4000);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size", 2000);
user_pref("browser.cache.offline.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.offline.capacity", 512);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl", false);

Have you created this folder on your system > c:\ff ? The parth must exist for this pref to use it > user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory","c:\\ff");

maybe the error message is generated by NOT using memory cache?
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", false);

or you are out of disc cache space
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 25000);

or you are blocking all SSL (no disc cache and no memory cache)
user_pref("browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl", false);

{edit} Does the problem exist in Firefox Safe Mode ?

Both using the same cache won't work AFAICT

And using the same profile will eventually bork both installs

I guess FF10 created and owns the profile. Firefox 10 might soon break too!

Then you need to create a separate profile for each. Just noticed different user agent, is your problem with Linux or Windows?

When you look at the pref in about:config does it look like this C:\ff and did you create the \ff folder?

Yes, I want to have cache on ramdisk, before ff11 update everything worked fine, I even clean install again and for few minutes it worked but stopped sudenly without notice. If I install FF 10 or 9 everything is ok.

I don't think it can be shared.. try creating a different cache for each FF version.
