Basically, I wanna have all cache in RAM instead of my SSD. [I have disabled 'disk cache', should I disable 'offline cache' too?] 1. Setting browser.cache.memory.capacity to -1, I saw that it set 32768kB. Would it be automatically increased when I watch 5-10 videos in diffeent tabs so that I can go back and forward in video without burffering them again? 2. If it doesn't automatically increase the size of memory cache, may I set around 2gB in browser.cache.memory.capacity? Doing that woould not reserve a 2GiB for firefox when its running, right?....say, if firefox is running with caching 500mB in RAM, and only 1.5gB is left, then other programs can use that memory too, right?

There is also a disk cache enabled for plugins. You can catch this by right clicking on the video and changing the Global Settings in the Flash Player.
