Mozilla Firefox saves data such as images or files from every website visited in the so-called browser cache. If you visit the website again, you no longer have to download all parts of the page again because Firefox can access the data stored in the cache. It can happen, however, that Firefox does not notice that there is new content on the page in the meantime and may display outdated images or files. So it can help to clear the cache from time to time.
