As most hard-disks are multi-gigabyte, there really isn't a need to specify the
cache size in kilobytes.  Megabytes would be more appropriate, and would make
this preference easier to read (as there'd be three less zeros to count) - e.g.
500 MB can be read more quickly than 500000 KB.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools, Options, Privacy, Cache.
Actual Results:  
Cache size is displayed & editable in kilobytes (KB)

Expected Results:  
Cache size is displayed & editable in megabytes (MB)

This is a minor usability improvement.

Sorry for the mistake. This was actually fixed with Ben Goodger's patch for the
new options dialog. Duping as the right bug...
