Firefox doesn't seem to save anything I do. Like, normally, if you're playing a Flash game in the browser, close the tab and go do something else, then come back to that page, the game will load instantly. Or if you go to save an image from a webpage, it'll be saved instantly to your HD instead of having for the image to load all over again. As of the last few weeks, it's stopped doing that. Entire pages have to be reloaded every time I visit them and Firefox doesn't seem to remember anything I do. I'm not using private browsing, and when I click on history all my history is saved, but whenever I visit something in my history it has to load all over again. How can I fix this?
