Why did Mozilla eliminate the ability to override the cache content? Where do I provide you a screen shot of what I'm talking about?
FF V59 allowed me to override the automatic cache of 350 to 1024. V60 no longer has this option. Why? I'm now using Waterfox because of this. Please put this option back. Thank you.

This option is still in about:config.
It was a telemetry driven decision to remove it from Options.
Note this would be this pref:
- browser.cache.disk.capacity
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
Be cautious with modifying pref (remember the warning).
Thank you for your response to my question. I found this info in about:config but what am I suppose to do with this now? I'm not a techie kind of person but I do follow instructions very well. What type of change do I need to make to get that option back?
You can double-click the line on the on the about:config page or use the right-click context menu to modify the value to 1048576.
- browser.cache.disk.capacity = 1048576
I think that 1048576 KB (1GB) is now default value.
