FAQ.

[1] What is cache?
In computing, a cache is a component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere. If requested data is contained in the cache (cache hit), this request can be served by simply reading the cache, which is comparatively faster. Otherwise (cache miss), the data has to be recomputed or fetched from its original storage location, which is comparatively slower. Hence, the greater the number of requests that can be served from the cache, the faster the overall system performance becomes.

[2] Is it possible to move the UI to statusbar of Firefox?
Yes, if you don't like the new addressbar look in version 0.8.1, install version 0.8.3 from:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cache-status/versions/
The icon will appear in the statusbar if it is available (restart required).

[3] How to install Cache Status extension in your Firefox?
To install this extension, head to Mozilla Store and click on "Add to Firefox" button.

[4] How to uninstall Cache Status extension from your Firefox?

How to change the size of the touch and on-screen keyboard in Windows 10

Windows 10 PCs come with two keyboard apps, one is the OnScreen Keyboard , and the other is the Touch Keyboard . Basically, you don't need a touch screen to use the on-screen keyboard. It displays a virtual keyboard on the screen and you can use the mouse to select and press the keys. Although the on-screen keyboard app is very useful when we don't have a physical keyboard, its size is always a problem for users. You can move or enlarge the virtual keyboard from the icons in the upper right corner. If you want, you can also easily resize it. Changing the size of the on-screen keyboard is very easy.
