same as all - leave it untouched, firefox knows best!

>> Whats the best size for my cache for watching videos like YT with as little load times?

out of your reach, server depending. not in firefox cache.

come back, when using firefox

I changed the cache size so I don't remember the default value. Do you know what it is so I can change it back?

Appreciate it. FF seems to be slowing down. I already cleared cache and cookies but it doesnt help. Is there a way to fix it?

Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?
