The clear cache button is
The simplest way to clear the Firefox browser cache. No menus, no popups. One button - click it and the cache is clear.

Next feature - feedback. From the many comments I've receieved (thanks everyone!), the most
requested feature is improved feedback after the clear cache operation.
The plan is to include an popup message after the clear cache button is clicked that will state that the operation is completed. Not everyone will want this feedback, so the popup will be optional. I expect there to be a checkbox on the message letting the user to disable the feature. A new options dialog will be packaged with the extension to re-enable the message if desired.
Many thanks for all the positive responses and support!

This release also includes icon improvements. Adjustments have been made to
icon smoothing and mouse-over highlighting has been added. Note - this is a work in
progress - the icon does not yet completely use alpha blending; your mileage
will vary when using darker themes.
This the most extensive re-work of the clear cache button yet, and there's much more planned in the next release. Thanks for your patience, and come back to this site again for future announcements.

The clear cache button takes time and effort to maintain. Please help keep the clear cache button alive by making a donation; small or large.
Clicking the donate icon does not commit you to making a donation. You still have an opportunity to change your mind after clicking the icon.
