A very quick Google took me to about:cache , which answers some of your
questions.

Google also points me at
http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/web/25260D7695B0C332CA25704800156784
browser.cache.check_doc_frequency (a setting in about:config), and
http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_8.html .

Hope this helps,

James.
