(In reply to atlanto from comment #0) > STR: > 1. Set browser.cache.offline.enable to false in about:config Is having this pref really still valuable in 2018? Feels to me like it's the same kind of thing as turning frames off (which we removed in bug 1013457). Maybe the best way of ensuring this doesn't happen again is just to remove the pref. In any case, presumably setting the capacity to 0 would achieve the same thing (though I don't really understand what people's reason is for turning off the pref in the first place...).

(In reply to :Gijs (he/him) from comment #1) > (though I don't really understand what people's reason is for > turning off the pref in the first place...). It can be privacy related, I don't want sites and web applications to leave stuff on my local system, simple as that.
I've noticed a bunch of people on social media and reddit run into this, so I'm bumping the priority. We can still decide to remove the pref later on, but we might want to fix the frontend problem first and possibly uplift to beta.
