Cache Status Add-On for Firefox
Description
This add-on adds a customizable presence to your browser window's statusbar that gives you up-to-date information on your browser's cache usage, both RAM and the hard drive. The presence also has a right-click context menu, where you can easily clear your browser's cache. It can also automatically clean your cache when it reaches a specified level, through its Options.
Notes
This extension does not have any influence on or from Firefox's own memory consumption in your OS. The reported statistics are entirely independent.
A fresh profile usually doesn't have the RAM "maximum" capacity (stored in the browser.cache.memory.capacity preference), so you may see it blank. If so and if you set it to something, it will forever create that maximum, barring some prefs.js hacking of your own. Firefox does some sort of dynamic calculation if this isn't set, so use that with caution. In a future version, I may add a 'delete' button to the settings to restore it to "factory settings." You can also put in "-1" to give Firefox back the "reins."
Some comments talk about it not working - please try it with a fresh profile. If that doesn't work or you need help with that, contact me. If it does work, then it's most likely a conflict with one of your other extensions or themes. Please submit bug reports using the Issues tab.
