Note: selecting this option can slow down web browsing.
- Every time you start Internet Explorer
If you want Internet Explorer updates cache Every visit to the page, when you view a web page that you have visited before in the same Internet Explorer session, Internet Explorer uses cached Temporary Internet files instead of downloading the page.
- Automatically
If you select to update cache automatically, Internet Explorer checks for new content only when you return to a page that you viewed in an earlier session of Internet Explorer or on an earlier day. Over time, if Internet Explorer determines that images on the page are changing infrequently, it checks for newer images even less frequently.
- Never
Internet Explorer does not check for newer content.

To configure cache settings:
• Select 'Edit'.
• Select 'Preferences'.
• Open 'Advanced' sub-categories and select 'Cache'.
Disk cache is saved to your hard disk and can be used again even if you have turned your computer off. When you exit Mozilla, it performs cache maintenance. If maintenance takes longer than you wish, you can reduce the size of the disk cache.

Compare the page in the cache to the page on the network
- Every time I view the page - select this if you want Mozilla to compare a web page to the cache every time you view it
- When the page is out of date - select this option if you want Mozilla to compare a web page to the cache when the page is determined by the server to have expired.
- Once per session - select this option if you want Mozilla to compare a web page to the cache each time you start Mozilla.
- Never - select this option if you do not want Mozilla to compare cached information to the network.
If pages that should be in the cache are taking longer to appear than they should, make sure the preference is not set to "Every time I view the page," because the verification requires a network connection that takes time.
