• Cache: Firefox uses its cache to store images, pages, and URLs of recently visited web pages. By using the cache, the browser can load these pages must faster on subsequent visits to the site by loading the images, etc. locally from the cache rather than from the web server itself.
  
  
• Cookies: A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive when you visit certain web sites. Each cookie is used to tell a web server when you return to its web page. Cookies can be helpful in remembering certain settings that you have on a web site.
  
  
• Saved Passwords: When entering a password on a web page for something such as your email login, Firefox will usually ask if you would like for the password to be remembered. If you choose for the password to be remembered, it will be stored by the browser and then prepopulated the next time you visit that web page.
  
  
• Authenticated Sessions: You may have logged into a site and noticed that when you returned later you were still logged in. This is because Firefox saved your authenticated session.
