[QUOTE="i7ii, post: 1105057, member: 116614"] Cookies seem to be tied to "site data" - used for storing login info. Clearing them - means you have to re-login every time you use a popular site. There's a FF Extension called Cookie Quick Manger - which gives you more cookies control but also extra info used cookies (what they actually contain). While using commercial sites like Amazon (or any site - where you use a credit card) - it's definitely beneficial/safer to clear does cookies and re-login every time. As for Cache - FF has multiple features which cache specific settings. If you have enough Ram (even 16 Gb is more than enough - if using the browser alone) - you could disable the general cache - which tends to help with speed (Ram being faster even than SSD) - more than security, but can also help increase SSD life by a bit - since the Ram is not affected in same way by daily cache/writings from using the browser (ofc, depends how extensive you use it).
