Btw, is there a way to tweak firefox so it always uses cache and only updates on manual site reload?
Are you trying to make an offline website? If so, you could look into using a Service Worker which would give you full control over when the content gets refreshed.
Laptop, mobile, bad line; it's annoying if the page (which should already be in cache since i opened it hours ago) says "No internet :(" just because it got unloaded.
And yes, "save webpage" solves that but
In short, i want to use Firefox as the document viewer and downloader it is, instead of a webapp platform or whatever it wants to be.
