Clearing the cache from Firefox is often necessary to solve certain web page and browser problems that sometimes occur.

pages you've visited. This is done so that the next time you visit the 
page, Firefox can load it from your saved copy which will be much faster
 than loading it from the Internet.

Clearing the cache in Firefox is completely safe and should not remove any important data from your computer.
