If you would like to keep your data in your cache and test Wikipedia with an empty cache, you can use Private Browsing mode. To disable caching in Firefox (not recommended for most users): Choose Tools Options… (or Edit Preferences in the Linux version). Choose "Advanced" at the top. Choose the "Network" tab. Change the cache size to 0 (zero).
