188720 - more facilities for cache management needed

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[(address does not accept unsolicited mail)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

Need to add some more facilities for cache management rather than just the
folder size and the ability to empty the folder. For example it would be good to
be able to say, as with IE, whether the browser should check the server for new
versions of the page:
- Never
- Once a session
- Every time

This is a dupe of something, I'm sure. More comprehensive preferences are
planned; they're just not in yet.

For the time being, copy this into the location/url bar and have fun setting
things based on the old Mozilla preferences...

VERIFYING obvious WONTFIX bugs.  Filter on firebirdWontFix to filter these bugs.
 I skipped a few that I'm unsure about from their summary and will manually go
through them.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
