User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20131206145143 Steps to reproduce: The current maximum cache size is hard-coded to 1GB (http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/cache/nsCacheService.cpp#615). I would like to set a bigger cache size to make effective use of the "Work offline" facility. Please increase the maximum allowed cache size. I suggest a new value of 64 GB.
