Recovering Lost Data From Page Firefox Cache

Leeland's picture

Big company, large IT department, huge wiki server used by all. Do they have a recent backup? If you count 6 months old as recent then sure. Of course for a project started since the last back up that put 100% of the documentation into the corporate wiki when the server breaks and they have to go back to the back-ups this sucks.

Now of course being a tech-head I have ultra paranoid cleanup settings on my cache, browse history and other things. But, managers and office types often don't care nearly as much.

Enter the very cool Firefox feature about:cache now that is a handy little magic URL. And thankfully some people just don't bother with making sure their cache is cleaned out on exit.
