I bank online and want to make sure that I have the correct Firefox settings. For example, if I use the Microsoft Explorer browser my bank recommends: If you're using Internet Explorer... 


   Click on Tools in the menu bar at the top of the screen
   Select Internet Options
   Click on the General tab
   Click the 'Settings...' button under the section 'Temporary Internet files'
   Make sure that the option 'Check for newer versions of stored pages' is set to 'Every visit' and click OK
   Now click on the Advanced tab
   Scroll down to the Security section
   Make sure that the 'Do not save encrypted pages to disk' option is ticked

  1. Type about:config in the location bar and hit enter
  2. Accept the warning
  3. In the filter box on the top, type or paste browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl
  4. If browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl is set to true, right click on the entry and click toggle, so that it is set to false
  5. You may need to restart firefox for changes to take effect

Many thanks Matt2.

I presume that the "false" setting stops encrypted pages being saved to my hard disk. Is this correct?

Are there any other implications of doing this, please?

In Firefox 3 versions and older the SSL cache was disabled by default.
That is no longer the case in Firefox 4 and later.

Firefox 4+ also stores cookies from secure websites as part of the session data in sessionstore.js

You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
