Parts of a Flash-based site that I visit have started behaving oddly. I want to clear my cache of files from that site only before I contact the site support to ask them what's up. How can I do this? I am using the current major version of Firefox, don't know if it is the absolute most up-to-date version.

I find that when I visit some pages that use (I assume) JavaScript to transform LaTeX syntax to presentable mathematics, Firefox causes my computer to hang for several seconds while it does... something. And I really do mean that it causes my computer to hang, not just Firefox: the mouse pointer stops responding, Winamp stops playing for a few seconds, etc. For examples, most pages of math.stackexchange.com exhibit this effect. For example, http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/361386/is-there-a-formula-for-sum-n-1k-frac1n3. This effect happens only the first time I visit a page like this in a given session. If I visit another page later in the same session then no disruption occurs. Anyone able to offer any insight into why this happens and whether there's a fix? Surely it's unusual for the browser to bring the whole system to a halt in that way, even though it's only a brief effect. Edit: Searching around a bit, it looks like this is a problem with a piece of software called MathJax and it may apparently occur in a number of different browsers, so this is probably not a suitable question for this thread.

I read on various sites that this issue is related to what fonts are installed on the system, surprising though that seems.
