1593476 - Add button to clear DNS cache to about:networking

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: DNS, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Valentin Gosu [:valentin] (he/him)]

We currently do various things to trigger that, such as flipping the network off and on, but it would be much easier if we had a dedicated button to do it.

Workaround until this lands:
Open browser console: Ctrl-Shift-J and type in this:

Cc["@mozilla.org/network/dns-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIDNSService).clearCache(true);
