Allow selective disabling of browser cache and URL memory

Details
This is a feature request.
It would be nice to be able to prevent pages matching certain criteria (title,
URL, etc.) from being cached by the browser, and by the "recently-accessed-URLs"
list.
For example, when using a proxy server, if the user enters "www.mozilla.orf",
the proxy server will return a "no such page" error page. However, mozilla
doesn't realize that's not the right page, and the user is forced to deal with
"www.mozilla.orf" popping up in the quick-access list from then on.
Additionally, proxies (i.e. junkbuster) can supply pages that say "blocked site"
or other things easily caught by a regular expression or other pattern-matching
capability. There's no value in caching those pages anyway.
I could imagine that there's privacy-concious folks that would like the ability
not to cache their activities on certain websites. This could be useful for
them as well. Maybe there's even some value here for internet terminals as well...
So, a proposal: allow a list of "don't cache/don't remember URL" patterns so
that users can prevent annoying proxy-failure pages from being cached and their
URLs remembered.
there's a bug about urlbar and 404 or other errors. cache i don't know..

I think what you really want is caches other than disk and memory cache to
forget, like URL bar and history...

bug 93348 requests cache-disable by domain. That doesn't help the situation
described where proxy failure pages are being cached (and the location bar
history polluted with typos).
VERIFIED/dupe.
This is a bunch of different cache behaviors. If and when this is done, each
case mentioned will probably be implemented in its own bug.
