and set browser.cache.use_new_backend to 1 by default or even rename this pref to something more sane.
Thanks for filing :)

I don't think this needs to block beta in any way.  This is just a pref cleanup.

Summary: Remove browser.cache.use_new_backend_temp → Remove browser.cache.use_new_backend_temp once automation is no longer using it
I'm wondering when these preferences are going to be removed.
The new cache is enabled by default since version 32 of the Firefox browser, but the preference still exists ( browser.cache.use_new_backend;0 AND browser.cache.use_new_backend_temp;true )

It may cause confusion to some users, since they'll think the new cache is disabled while verifying that the browser.cache.use_new_backend value is 0.
Really? Fast forward to Nightly 46 and the prefs are still there...
You guys really need to do some cleanup now...

I would like to take this bug. Please tell me what "browser.cache.use_new_backend" should be renamed to.

I intend to remove this with the old cache code.  No need to change this in the meantime.
